Summary | 0008450: FANotify FAN_ATTRIB event error | ||||
Description | When watching for FAN_ATTRIB events on the 5.14.0-503.15.1 kernel, an endless loop of FAN_ATTRIB events are reported. This did not occur on the previous kernel release (5.14.0-427.13.1) . I am not sure how else to test this as far as I am aware fanotify is provided with the kernel. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | Watch an XFS filesystem for FAN_ATTRIB events. I attached a test program that can be compiled in C to monitor a filesystem. I tested this on the previous kernel and on the latest Ubuntu release and it works as expected, but on the latest kernel the FAN_ATTRIB event continuously reports. | ||||
Additional Information | Example output after a file is moved into the watched filesystem. I had to kill the program since it continuously output the FAN_ATTRIB log.
