Similar to events "on child" to watching directory, send event with parent/name info if sb/mount/non-dir marks are interested in parent/name info. The FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD flag can be set on sb/mount/non-dir marks to specify interest in parent/name info for events on non-directory inodes. Events on "orphan" children (disconnected dentries) are sent without parent/name info. Events on directories are sent with parent/name info only if the parent directory is watching. After this change, even groups that do not subscribe to events on children could get an event with mark iterator type TYPE_CHILD and without mark iterator type TYPE_INODE if fanotify has marks on the same objects. dnotify and inotify event handlers can already cope with that situation. audit does not subscribe to events that are possible on child, so won't get to this situation. nfsd does not access the marks iterator from its event handler at the moment, so it is not affected. This is a bit too fragile, so we should prepare all groups to cope with mark type TYPE_CHILD preferably using a generic helper.

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.
