Modify fanotify_should_send_event() so that it now returns a mask for an event that contains ONLY flags for the event types that have been specifically requested by the user. Flags that may have been included within the event mask, but have not been explicitly requested by the user will not be present in the returned value. As an example, given the situation where a user requests events of type FAN_OPEN. Traditionally, the event mask returned within an event that occurred on a filesystem object that has been marked for monitoring and is opened, will only ever have the FAN_OPEN bit set. With the introduction of the new flags like FAN_OPEN_EXEC, and perhaps any other future event flags, there is a possibility of the returned event mask containing more than a single bit set, despite having only requested the single event type. Prior to these modifications performed to fanotify_should_send_event(), a user would have received a bundled event mask containing flags FAN_OPEN and FAN_OPEN_EXEC in the instance that a file was opened for execution via execve(), for example. This means that a user would receive event types in the returned event mask that have not been requested. This runs the possibility of breaking existing systems and causing other unforeseen issues. To mitigate this possibility, fanotify_should_send_event() has been modified to return the event mask containing ONLY event types explicitly requested by the user. This means that we will NOT report events that the user did no set a mask for, and we will NOT report events that the user has set an ignore mask for. The function name fanotify_should_send_event() has also been updated so that it's more relevant to what it has been designed to do.

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.
