Yeah, that's pretty strange as there's /proc/sys/user/max_fanotify_groups /proc/sys/user/max_fanotify_marks it could be to have a ro counter that allows to display the current number of groups? But that seems strange as we don't expose that information anywhere for similar things. What would this be used for even?
