Hi Jan,

> When LTP test is run with CWD in btrfs subvolume, tests like fanotify16
> fail with:

> fanotify.h:169: TBROK: fanotify_mark (3, FAN_MARK_ADD, ..., AT_FDCWD, ".") failed: EXDEV (18)

I'll have a deeper look tomorrow, but actually with this patch it fails

LTP_SINGLE_FS_TYPE=btrfs ./fanotify16
...
fanotify.h:168: TBROK: fanotify_mark (3, FAN_MARK_ADD | 0, 10000000, AT_FDCWD, ".") failed: EXDEV (18)

And it works without it. What am I missing?

Tested on 6.7.0-rc1-2.g86e46c2-default

> This is because fanotify_events_supported_by_kernel() try to place a
> mark onto CWD and that is forbidden for btrfs subvolumes. Change
> fanotify_events_supported_by_kernel() to use "/" instead of "." which

> Also update the error message to provide a bit more info.

(You changed directory . to /, thus error message should be updated as well)

Kind regards,
Petr
