Amir Goldstein 06382ad6cf ovl: do not generate duplicate fsnotify events for "fake" path
[ Upstream commit d989903058 ]

Overlayfs "fake" path is used for stacked file operations on underlying
files.  Operations on files with "fake" path must not generate fsnotify
events with path data, because those events have already been generated at
overlayfs layer and because the reported event->fd for fanotify marks on
underlying inode/filesystem will have the wrong path (the overlayfs path).

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
