The _event in the helper name is inconsistent with the rest of the helpers.
I would go with fsnotify_sb_error(), especially if you agree with me about
allowing FAN_ERROR only on sb marks.
I would also consider FAN_FS_ERROR (?) to reduce ambiguity in the future
with FAN_WB_ERROR.

This is a bit hacky.
It *may* be acceptable if we allow FAN_ERROR only for sb marks, but if we
allow to set them on inode marks, this is wrong, because it will only report
events for all inodes only to an inode mark that was set on the root inode.
If you want a clean solution:
1) Take this cleanup patch from [1]
"fsnotify: pass arguments of fsnotify() in struct fsnotify_event_info"
2) Add sb field to fsnotify_event_info
3) In fsnotify() do not assume that inode is non-NULL:
- struct super_block *sb;
+ struct inode *inode = event_info->inode;
+ struct super_block *sb = event_info->sb ?: inode->i_sb;
There are too many args to fsnotify() already, so the cleanup patch
is due anyway.
Thanks,
Amir.
