Hi Jan,

Yesterday I ran fanotify LTP tests on linux-next and noticed a regression
with fanotify22 which tests the FAN_FS_ERROR event on ext4.
It's 100% reproducible on my machine (see below).

I've bisected the regression down to this series.
Not sure if this is an acute regression or just the test needs to be adjusted.

Thanks,
Amir.
