I think that should do it:

I also see a bunch of:

$ git grep 'supported_on_fs.*\"\.\"'
fanotify01.c:   if (fanotify_flags_supported_on_fs(FAN_REPORT_FID,
FAN_MARK_MOUNT, FAN_OPEN, ".")) {
fanotify05.c:   fd_error_unsupported =
fanotify_init_flags_supported_on_fs(FAN_REPORT_FD_ERROR, ".");
fanotify11.c:   fan_report_tid_unsupported =
fanotify_init_flags_supported_on_fs(FAN_REPORT_TID, ".");
fanotify21.c:           fd_error_unsupported =
fanotify_init_flags_supported_on_fs(FAN_REPORT_FD_ERROR, ".");

The first one is intentional.
The two FAN_REPORT_FD_ERROR ones could use MOUNT_PATH,
but I don't think that is critical.
There is nothing about those flags that is fs specific, so it is a
pure kernel feature test.

The problem with fanotify{22,23} was with the flag FAN_MARK_FILESYSTEM that
is not supported on a btrfs subvolume.

Thanks,
Amir.
