Subject: fanotify: fix missing break
From: Eric Paris <[email protected]>
commit 848561d368751a1c0f679b9f045a02944506a801 upstream.
Anders Blomdell noted in 2010 that Fanotify lost events and provided a
test case. Eric Paris confirmed it was a bug and posted a fix to the
list
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/linux.kernel/RrJfTfyW2BE
but never applied it. Repeated attempts over time to actually get him
to apply it have never had a reply from anyone who has raised it
So apply it anyway
