Don't understand. Is this a regression? from which commit?

So are running 3 processes that constantly ask to be notified
blocking on file system events and then they never read those
events. Even tough the marks are also destroyed, odd are that
at least one mark will be alive at any given time.

Why is it surprising that touching a file in monitored directory
hangs forever?

I am very happy to see someone is writing stress tests for
fanotify, I am just not sure this test is tuned correctly.
Have you been trying to reproduce a reported bug?
