This patch adds a flag, FAN_INFO and an extensible buffer to provide additional information about response decisions. The buffer contains one or more headers defining the information type and the length of the following information. The patch defines one additional information type, FAN_RESPONSE_INFO_AUDIT_RULE, to audit a rule number. This will allow for the creation of other information types in the future if other users of the API identify different needs. The kernel can be tested if it supports a given info type by supplying the complete info extension but setting fd to FAN_NOFD. It will return the expected size but not issue an audit record.

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.
