[LTP] [PATCH 1/1] fanotify10: Treat ignore mask bug as TCONF for < v5.9

[Petr Vorel]

Hi Amir,

> What I suggested was to skip only the test cases with non zero
> tc->ignored_onchild for kernel < 5.9.

> Those are the new test cases that are failing due to missing fix
> "497b0c5a7c06 fsnotify: send event to parent and child with single"
> Which is not likely to be backported.

> I see no reason to run those test cases and then report the failure as
> TCONF.
> The TCONF message can say that ignored mask in combination with
> flag FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD have undefined behavior on kernel < 5.9.
Yep, that makes more sense.

Apologize for not removing eca4784cbb18.

+1. I kept comment in the commit (in v2) and explicitly mention why it's not in
tags.

Thanks for all suggestions. Just in case I sent v2 instead of merging it directly.

Kind regards,
Petr
