FS_PRE_ACCESS or FS_PRE_MODIFY will be generated on page fault depending

This pre-content event is meant to be used by hierarchical storage
managers that want to fill in the file content on first read access.

Export a simple helper that file systems that have their own ->fault()
will use, and have a more complicated helper to be do fancy things with
in filemap_fault.


This patch (0790303ec869d0fd658a548551972b51ced7390c in next-20241206)
interacts poorly with some programs which hang and are stuck at 100 % sys
cpu usage (examples of programs are logrotate and atop with root
privileges).

I also retested the new version on Jan Kara's for_next branch and it behaves
the same way.

Thanks for report! What is your kernel config please? I've just fixed a
bug reported by [1] which manifested in the same way with
CONFIG_FANOTIFY_ACCESS_PERMISSIONS=n.

Can you perhaps test with my for_next branch I've just pushed out? Thanks!

My config was attached, but yes, I have CONFIG_FANOTIFY_ACCESS_PERMISSIONS=n. I tried the tip by Srikanth Aithal to enable it and that resolved the issue.

Your new for_next branch resolved the CONFIG_FANOTIFY_ACCESS_PERMISSIONS=n case for me.

Thanks,
Klara Modin
