5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Gabriel Krisman Bertazi <krisman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 272531ac619b374ab474e989eb387162fded553f ] Instead of failing, encode an invalid file handle in fanotify_encode_fh if no inode is provided. This bogus file handle will be reported by FAN_FS_ERROR for non-inode errors.
