It's not a mark, it's an event, so:
"...for groups with the FAN_ERROR event in their mark mask"

Honestly, this struct is too simple to have a 'version'.
The format of this simple struct is already defined by
FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_ERROR and if we want to change
the reported info in the future, we can use
FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_ERROR_V2.
In fact, I suggest to name the type
FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_FS_ERROR
to differentiate from a future
FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_WB_ERROR

I suggest to put an error seq counter in this struct.
The per-sb seq counter can be provided by the filesystem
or by fsnotify.
