I reckon if you ran the LTP fsnotify tests you would have seen this
warning a lot more instead of just one random pseudo filesystem
that some process is probably setting a watch on...

You should run the existing LTP test to check for regressions.
The fanotify/inotify test cases in LTP are easy to run, for example:
run make in testcases/kernel/syscalls/fanotify and execute individual
./fanotify* executable.

If you point me to a branch, I can run the tests until you get
your LTP setup ready.

Thanks,
Amir.
