This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled fsnotify: optimize the case of no marks of any type to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: fsnotify-optimize-the-case-of-no-marks-of-any-type.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 7d7b19fa04780d3f60cb78e1e255e3e3f03ccb83 Author: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Aug 10 18:12:20 2021 +0300 fsnotify: optimize the case of no marks of any type [ Upstream commit e43de7f0862b8598cd1ef440e3b4701cd107ea40 ] Add a simple check in the inline helpers to avoid calling fsnotify() and __fsnotify_parent() in case there are no marks of any type (inode/sb/mount) for an inode's sb, so there can be no objects of any type interested in the event.
