I am perfectly fine with encoding "no inode" with FILEID_ROOT internally.
It's already the value used by fanotify_encode_fh() in upstream.

However, if we use zero len internally, we need to pass fh_type to
fanotify_fid_info_len() and special case FILEID_ROOT in order to
take FANOTIFY_FID_INFO_HDR_LEN into account.

And special case fanotify_event_object_fh_len() in
 fanotify_event_info_len() and in copy_info_records_to_user().

Or maybe I am missing something....

Thanks,
Amir.
