objectid is only used by fanotify backend and it is just an optimization for event merge before comparing all fields in event. Move the objectid member from common struct fsnotify_event into struct fanotify_event and reduce it to 29-bit hash to cram it together with the 3-bit event type. Events of different types are never merged, so the combination of event type and hash form a 32-bit key for fast compare of events. This reduces the size of events by one pointer and paves the way for adding hashed queue support for fanotify.

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.
