There are many "simple" filesystems (*) that report null f_fsid in statfs(2). Those "simple" filesystems report sb->s_dev as the st_dev field of the stat syscalls for all inodes of the filesystem (**). In order to enable fanotify reporting of events with fsid on those "simple" filesystems, report the sb->s_dev number in f_fsid field of statfs(2). (*) For most of the "simple" filesystem refered to in this commit, the ->statfs() operation is simple_statfs(). Some of those fs assign the simple_statfs() method directly in their ->s_op struct and some assign it indirectly via a call to simple_fill_super() or to pseudo_fs_fill_super() with either custom or "simple" s_op. We also make the same change to efivarfs and hugetlbfs, although they do not use simple_statfs(), because they use the simple_* inode opreations (e.g. simple_lookup()). (**) For most of the "simple" filesystems, the ->getattr() method is not assigned, so stat() is implemented by generic_fillattr(). A few "simple" filesystem use the simple_getattr() method which also calls generic_fillattr() to fill most of the stat struct. The two exceptions are procfs and 9p. procfs implements several different ->getattr() methods, but they all end up calling generic_fillattr() to fill the st_dev field from sb->s_dev. 9p has more complicated ->getattr() methods, but they too, end up calling generic_fillattr() to fill the st_dev field from sb->s_dev. Note that 9p and kernfs also call simple_statfs() from custom ->statfs() methods which already fill the f_fsid field, but v9fs_statfs() calls simple_statfs() only in case f_fsid was not filled and kenrfs_statfs() overwrites f_fsid after calling simple_statfs().

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.
