From: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@xxxxxxxxx> FS_PRE_ACCESS or FS_PRE_MODIFY will be generated on open depending on file open mode. The pre-content event will be generated in addition to FS_OPEN_PERM, but without sb_writers held and after file was truncated in case file was opened with O_CREAT and/or O_TRUNC. The event will have a range info of (0..0) to provide an opportunity to fill entire file content on open.
