From 272531ac619b374ab474e989eb387162fded553f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gabriel Krisman Bertazi Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2021 16:27:30 -0300 Subject: fanotify: Encode empty file handle when no inode is provided Instead of failing, encode an invalid file handle in fanotify_encode_fh if no inode is provided. This bogus file handle will be reported by FAN_FS_ERROR for non-inode errors.
