I am watching the same directory with inotify and fanotify at the same time, that is, with both an inotify and an fanotify listener running in two separate processes. The inotify listener is code I cannot send so easily, but I've shown the resulting strace. The fanotify listener is the one from [1]. [1] http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/agruen/fanotify-example.git Together with the traces I've provided this should give you way enough clues to be able to look up in the code why listening for fanotify events apparently causes a concurrent inotify listener to return an inotify event with struct inotify_event->mask == 0 for each fanotify perm event.
