Commit
a95aef69a740 ("fanotify: support reporting non-decodeable file
handles") merged in v6.5-rc1, added the ability to use an fanotify group
with FAN_REPORT_FID mode to watch filesystems that do not support nfs
export, but do know how to encode non-decodeable file handles, with the
newly introduced AT_HANDLE_FID flag.
At the time that this commit was merged, there were no filesystems
in-tree with those traits.
Commit
16aac5ad1fa9 ("ovl: support encoding non-decodable file handles"),
merged in v6.6-rc1, added this trait to overlayfs, thus allowing fanotify
watching of overlayfs with FAN_REPORT_FID mode.
In retrospect, allowing an fanotify filesystem/mount mark on such
filesystem in FAN_REPORT_FID mode will result in getting events with
file handles, without the ability to resolve the filesystem objects from
those file handles (i.e. no open_by_handle_at() support).
For v6.6, the safer option would be to allow this mode for inode marks
only, where the caller has the opportunity to use name_to_handle_at() at
the time of setting the mark. In the future we can revise this decision.
