I wasn't sure about fanotify_perm_event inherits from fanotify_path_event, so did that is a separate patch so you can judge both variants. IMO, neither variant is that good or bad, so I could go with either. I do like the end result with your suggestions better than fanotify_name-v2. If you like this version, I will work the changes into the series. Thanks, Amir.
