Hi Amir, all,

> > buffer read. Increase the size of the events buffer to fix this failure.

Also fanotify13.c for the same reason on s390x on various SLES (enterprise)
kernels based on various mainline kernels (6.4, 5.3.18, ...).

fanotify13.c:341: TFAIL: Did not get an expected event (expected: 3403000018)

(Just a different mask than on aarch64 and ppc64le.)

@Cyril: due the above I suggest to merge before release only fanotify05.c and
fanotify21.c changes.

Kind regards,
Petr
