Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] Prepare for supporting more filesystems with fanotify

Jan,

Following v2 incorporates a few fixes and ACKs from review of v1 [1].

While fanotify relaxes the requirements for filesystems to support
reporting fid to require only the ->encode_fh() operation, there are
currently no new filesystems that meet the relaxed requirements.

Patches to add ->encode_fh() to overlay with default configuation
are available on my github branch [2].  I will re-post them after
this patch set will be approved.

Based on the discussion on the UAPI alternatives, I kept the
AT_HANDLE_FID UAPI, which seems the simplest of them all.

There is an LTP test [3] that tests reporting fid from overlayfs,
which also demonstrates the use of AT_HANDLE_FID for requesting a
non-decodeable file handle by userspace and there is a man page
draft [4] for the documentation of the AT_HANDLE_FID flags.

Thanks,
Amir.

Changes since v1:
- Fixes to Kerneldoc (Chuck)
- Added ACKs (Chuck,Jeff)
- Explain the logic of requiring ->s_export_op (Jan)
- Added man page draft
