commitfecc455978upstream. fsnotify_parent() used to send two separate events to backends when a parent inode is watching children and the child inode is also watching. In an attempt to avoid duplicate events in fanotify, we unified the two backend callbacks to a single callback and handled the reporting of the two separate events for the relevant backends (inotify and dnotify). However the handling is buggy and can result in inotify and dnotify listeners receiving events of the type they never asked for or spurious events. The problem is the unified event callback with two inode marks (parent and child) is called when any of the parent and child inodes are watched and interested in the event, but the parent inode's mark that is interested in the event on the child is not necessarily the one we are currently reporting to (it could belong to a different group). So before reporting the parent or child event flavor to backend we need to check that the mark is really interested in that event flavor. The semantics of INODE and CHILD marks were hard to follow and made the logic more complicated than it should have been. Replace it with INODE and PARENT marks semantics to hopefully make the logic more clear. Thanks to Hugh Dickins for spotting a bug in the earlier version of this patch.

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.
