Subject: fanotify: deny permissions when no event was sent
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.37-rc7~24^2~11
X-Git-Url: https://openfabrics.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ecf6f5e7d68471b08603f7c20143ac236602364f;p=~emulex%2Finfiniband.git

fanotify: deny permissions when no event was sent

If no event was sent to userspace we cannot expect userspace to respond to
permissions requests.  Today such requests just hang forever. This patch will
deny any permissions event which was unable to be sent to userspace.
