Jan, Fanotify name event patches are ready at [1]. I am still updating the tests and the demo. In the mean while, I wanted to post these few prep patches including two bug fixes, so perhaps you will be able to process them in time for v5.6-rc1. Patches 1-4 are just cleanup and minor re-factoring in prep for the name event patches. Patches 5-6 are fixes for minor bug that I found during the work. I improved ltp tests fanotify09 and fanotify15 to cover these bugs [2]. I did not mark those patches for stable, because backporting is not trivial and the bugs are really minor. For the same reason, I did not bother to provide bug fix patches that are not dependent on the cleanup patches, although that might have been possible to do. Thanks, Amir.
