I see you finally managed to flow this into kernel.org repo. Yay! :)

Rebased on top of upstream, fixed the few minor nits
you pointed out and push to:

https://github.com/amir73il/man-pages/commits/fan-fs-error

Can you please apply?

I have a question for you regarding new UAPI, such as
FAN_MARK_EVICTABLE that got merged to v5.19-rc1.

Often, Michael would not want to merge UAPI changes to
man pages before .0 release, because UAPI changes could
be reverted before final release (which happened for fanotify).
I still want to post those man page patches for review early,
but don't want to mess up your patch review process.

I guess if I post them as [RFC] it will be a good sign for you not
to merge them until the .0 release?
Should I simply use the subject "Fanotify updated for v5.19"?

Do you have a different view on the matter?
Don't care at all? ;-)

Thanks,
Amir.
