[PATCH 4.16 012/279] fsnotify: fix ignore mask logic in send_to_group()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jun 18 2018 - 06:24:29 EST


4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 92183a42898dc400b89da35685d1814ac6acd3d8 ]

The ignore mask logic in send_to_group() does not match the logic
in fanotify_should_send_event(). In the latter, a vfsmount mark ignore
mask precedes an inode mark mask and in the former, it does not.

That difference may cause events to be sent to fanotify backend for no
reason. Fix the logic in send_to_group() to match that of
fanotify_should_send_event().
