[PATCH] fsnotify: inotify: pass mark connector to fsnotify_recalc_mask()

From: Sun Jian

Date: Sat Feb 14 2026 - 00:12:39 EST


fsnotify_recalc_mask() expects a plain struct fsnotify_mark_connector *,
but inode->i_fsnotify_marks is an __rcu pointer. Use fsn_mark->connector
instead to avoid sparse "different address spaces" warnings.
