Merge tag 'fsnotify_for_v6.17-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jack/linux-fs
Pull fsnotify updates from Jan Kara: "A couple of small improvements for fsnotify subsystem. The most interesting is probably Amir's change modifying the meaning of fsnotify fmode bits (and I spell it out specifically because I know you care about those). There's no change for the common cases of no fsnotify watches or no permission event watches. But when there are permission watches (either for open or for pre-content events) but no FAN_ACCESS_PERM watch (which nobody uses in practice) we are now able optimize away unnecessary cache loads from the read path" * tag 'fsnotify_for_v6.17-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jack/linux-fs: fsnotify: optimize FMODE_NONOTIFY_PERM for the common cases fsnotify: merge file_set_fsnotify_mode_from_watchers() with open perm hook samples: fix building fs-monitor on musl systems fanotify: sanitize handle_type values when reporting fid
