It seems to me that all these patches and feature additions
to fanotify, new kfuncs, etc are done just to do the above
filtering by subdir ?

If so, just hard code this logic as an extra flag to fanotify ?
So it can filter all events by subdir.
bpf programmability makes sense when it needs to express
user space policy. Here it's just a filter by subdir.
bpf hammer doesn't look like the right tool for this use case.
