    inotify: Fix reporting of cookies for inotify events · 45a22f4c
    Jan Kara authored
    My rework of handling of notification events (namely commit 7053aee2
    "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.
