Hi Jan, This is an early heads up on upcoming patches for next cycle. There are several more API changes proposed for next cycle, none of which should surprise you and you may have seen previous version of the patches in the past. Branches (denoted in [] below) are available on my github [1], rebased on v4.20-rc1 and tested with some WIP LTP tests [2]. Matthew Bobrowski has volunteered to help me with the LTP tests and man page updates for the new APIs :) I was going to wait for a while before starting to send patches, but let me know if you want me to start posting. Note that the first 3 batches (fsnotify_dentry,fanotify_unpriv, fanotify_fid) are independent and you can take either by itself, although fanotify_fid doesn't make a lot of sense without neither fanotify_unpriv nor fanotify_dentry. Thanks, Amir.
