[PATCH v3 0/2] fanotify man page updates for v5.17

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Alex,

These two complementary APIs, FAN_REPORT_TARGET_FID (fanotify_init)
and FAN_RENAME (fanotify_mark) were merged to kernel v5.17.

Note that we used the fact that this is new API to fix a glitch that
exists in the old APIs - it is possble to request CREATE/DELETE/MOVE
events and flags FAN_ONDIR/FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD for a non-directrory,
but those events and flags are only relevant for directories.

When the new APIs are used, ENOTDIR will be returned in such cases
and this change is reflected in the man pages updates.

The ENOTDIR error was added by later commits, one of them just merged
to mainline, which are also mentioned in the commit message of the
first patch.

Both Jan and Matthew re-reviewed the changes to the ENOTDIR section.

Thanks,
Amir,

Changes since v2:
- Rearrange ENOTDIR errors section
- Add more cases of ENOTDIR following fix patch
