From 45a22f4c11fef4ecd5c61c0a299cd3f23d77be8e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Mon, 17 Feb 2014 13:09:50 +0100 Subject: inotify: Fix reporting of cookies for inotify events My rework of handling of notification events (namely commit 7053aee26a35 "fsnotify: do not share events between notification groups") broke sending of cookies with inotify events. We didn't propagate the value passed to fsnotify() properly and passed 4 uninitialized bytes to userspace instead (so it is also an information leak). Sadly I didn't notice this during my testing because inotify cookies aren't used very much and LTP inotify tests ignore them. Fix the problem by passing the cookie value properly.
