Subject: Re: [LTP] [PATCH v3 0/9] Test the new fanotify FAN_FS_ERROR event

It has been merged into Theodore Ts'o ext4 tree into dev branch as c1e2e0350ce3
("ext4: Fix error code saved on super block during file system abort")

We should probably add it as .tags (see fanotify06.c).

Also it'd be nice just to mention relevant commits which added FAN_FS_ERROR in
fanotify21.c (probably "fanotify: Allow users to request FAN_FS_ERROR events" ?)
+ kernel version it added it -suppose 5.16 (although it can be backported; and
these commits should not go to .tags, as we track there only
fixes not new features). I can add it myself (no need to repost).

Kind regards,
Petr
