Report event FAN_DIR_MODIFY with name in a variable length record similar to how fid's are reported. With name info reporting implemented, setting FAN_DIR_MODIFY in mark mask is now allowed. When events are reported with name, the reported fid identifies the directory and the name follows the fid. The info record type for this event info is FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_DFID_NAME. For now, all reported events have at most one info record which is either FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_FID or FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_DFID_NAME (for FAN_DIR_MODIFY). Later on, events "on child" will report both records. There are several ways that an application can use this information: 1. When watching a single directory, the name is always relative to the watched directory, so application need to fstatat(2) the name relative to the watched directory. 2. When watching a set of directories, the application could keep a map of dirfd for all watched directories and hash the map by fid obtained with name_to_handle_at(2). When getting a name event, the fid in the event info could be used to lookup the base dirfd in the map and then call fstatat(2) with that dirfd. 3. When watching a filesystem (FAN_MARK_FILESYSTEM) or a large set of directories, the application could use open_by_handle_at(2) with the fid in event info to obtain dirfd for the directory where event happened and call fstatat(2) with this dirfd. The last option scales better for a large number of watched directories. The first two options may be available in the future also for non privileged fanotify watchers, because open_by_handle_at(2) requires the CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH capability.

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.
