Two years passed, but this patch was never applied
and fanotify is as broken as it has been.
So, two questions:
- does anyone going to finally apply that patch (add "break" before case
(FSNOTIFY_EVENT_NONE) in should_merge)
- what is the status of fanotify? Does anybody still use it? Does it work (aside
