From 8edc6e1688fc8f02c8c1f53a2ec4928cb1055f4d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2014 15:19:33 -0800 Subject: fanotify: fix notification of groups with inode & mount marks fsnotify() needs to merge inode and mount marks lists when notifying groups about events so that ignore masks from inode marks are reflected in mount mark notifications and groups are notified in proper order (according to priorities). Currently the sorting of the lists done by fsnotify_add_inode_mark() / fsnotify_add_vfsmount_mark() and fsnotify() differed which resulted ignore masks not being used in some cases. Fix the problem by always using the same comparison function when sorting / merging the mark lists. Thanks to Heinrich Schuchardt for improvements of my patch.
