When event data type is FSNOTIFY_EVENT_INODE, we don't have a refernece to the mount, so we will not be able to open a file descriptor when user reads the event. However, if the listener has enabled reporting file identifier with the FAN_REPORT_FID init flag, we allow reporting those events and we use an identifier inode to encode fid. The inode to use as identifier when reporting fid depends on the event. For dirent modification events, we report the modified directory inode and we report the "victim" inode otherwise. For example: FS_ATTRIB reports the child inode even if reported on a watched parent. FS_CREATE reports the modified dir inode and not the created inode.

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.
