[PATCH 0/2] New fanotify API for ignoring events

[Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com>]

Hi Jan,

As we discussed [1], here is the implementation of the new
FAN_MARK_IGNORE API, to try and sort the historic mess of
FAN_MARK_IGNORED_MASK.

It is worth mentioning that the new API enables the functionality of
watching events ONLY on directories (by ignoring events on non-dir).

LTP tests [2] and man page draft [3] are ready as well.

I am going on vacation in two weeks time, so wanted to
send these out early.

Thanks,
Amir.
