[PATCH 0/4] fix fanotify issues with the series in v4.12

From: Miklos Szeredi
Date: Thu Oct 19 2017 - 09:59:38 EST


We discovered some problems in the latest fsnotify/fanotify codebase with
the help of a stress test (Xiong Zhou is working on upstreaming it to fstests).

This series attempts to fix these. With the patch applied the stress test passes.

Please review/test.

Thanks,
Miklos
