Subject: fanotify: merge notification events with different masks
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a12a7dd3284f5644326af1ea53b35030f205dd29;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

fanotify: merge notification events with different masks

Instead of just merging fanotify events if they are exactly the same, merge
notification events with different masks.  To do this we have to clone the
old event, update the mask in the new event with the new merged mask, and
put the new event in place of the old event.
