From 0aca67bb7f0d8c997dfef8ff0bfeb0afb361f0e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Bobrowski Date: Sun, 8 Aug 2021 15:25:58 +1000 Subject: fanotify: introduce a generic info record copying helper The copy_info_records_to_user() helper allows for the separation of info record copying routines/conditionals from copy_event_to_user(), which reduces the overall clutter within this function. This becomes especially true as we start introducing additional info records in the future i.e. struct fanotify_event_info_pidfd. On success, this helper returns the total amount of bytes that have been copied into the user supplied buffer and on error, a negative value is returned to the caller. The newly defined macro FANOTIFY_INFO_MODES can be used to obtain info record types that have been enabled for a specific notification group. This macro becomes useful in the subsequent patch when the FAN_REPORT_PIDFD initialization flag is introduced.
