There is an inotify test in
tools/testing/selftests/cgroup/test_freezer.c

There is no fanotify test in tree test.

An fanotify test will require running with CAP_SYS_ADMIN. The kselftest
documentation does not describe that tests should be run as root. So it
may be preferable to test that the inotify events IN_OPEN, IN_ACCESS,
IN_CLOSE_NOWRITE are created for readfile().

Example coding is included in the inotify.7 and fanotify.7 manpages.
