Eric Paris 2a3edf8604 fanotify: fanotify_mark syscall implementation
NAME
	fanotify_mark - add, remove, or modify an fanotify mark on a
filesystem object

SYNOPSIS
	int fanotify_mark(int fanotify_fd, unsigned int flags, u64 mask,
			  int dfd, const char *pathname)

DESCRIPTION
	fanotify_mark() is used to add remove or modify a mark on a filesystem
	object.  Marks are used to indicate that the fanotify group is
	interested in events which occur on that object.  At this point in
	time marks may only be added to files and directories.

	fanotify_fd must be a file descriptor returned by fanotify_init()

	The flags field must contain exactly one of the following:

	FAN_MARK_ADD - or the bits in mask and ignored mask into the mark
	FAN_MARK_REMOVE - bitwise remove the bits in mask and ignored mark
		from the mark

	The following values can be OR'd into the flags field:

	FAN_MARK_DONT_FOLLOW - same meaning as O_NOFOLLOW as described in open(2)
	FAN_MARK_ONLYDIR - same meaning as O_DIRECTORY as described in open(2)

	dfd may be any of the following:
	AT_FDCWD: the object will be lookup up based on pathname similar
		to open(2)

	file descriptor of a directory: if pathname is not NULL the
		object to modify will be lookup up similar to openat(2)

	file descriptor of the final object: if pathname is NULL the
		object to modify will be the object referenced by dfd

	The mask is the bitwise OR of the set of events of interest such as:
	FAN_ACCESS		- object was accessed (read)
	FAN_MODIFY		- object was modified (write)
	FAN_CLOSE_WRITE		- object was writable and was closed
	FAN_CLOSE_NOWRITE	- object was read only and was closed
	FAN_OPEN		- object was opened
	FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD	- interested in objected that happen to
				  children.  Only relavent when the object
				  is a directory
	FAN_Q_OVERFLOW		- event queue overflowed (not implemented)

RETURN VALUE
	On success, this system call returns 0. On error, -1 is
	returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
	EINVAL An invalid value was specified in flags.

	EINVAL An invalid value was specified in mask.

	EINVAL An invalid value was specified in ignored_mask.

	EINVAL fanotify_fd is not a file descriptor as returned by
	fanotify_init()

	EBADF fanotify_fd is not a valid file descriptor

	EBADF dfd is not a valid file descriptor and path is NULL.

	ENOTDIR dfd is not a directory and path is not NULL

	EACCESS no search permissions on some part of the path

	ENENT file not found

	ENOMEM Insufficient kernel memory is available.

CONFORMING TO
	These system calls are Linux-specific.
