Amir Goldstein d61fd650e9 fanotify: introduce group flag FAN_REPORT_TARGET_FID
FAN_REPORT_FID is ambiguous in that it reports the fid of the child for
some events and the fid of the parent for create/delete/move events.

The new FAN_REPORT_TARGET_FID flag is an implicit request to report
the fid of the target object of the operation (a.k.a the child inode)
also in create/delete/move events in addition to the fid of the parent
and the name of the child.

To reduce the test matrix for uninteresting use cases, the new
FAN_REPORT_TARGET_FID flag requires both FAN_REPORT_NAME and
FAN_REPORT_FID.  The convenience macro FAN_REPORT_DFID_NAME_TARGET
combines FAN_REPORT_TARGET_FID with all the required flags.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
