From a3aa899823dda059ab88a58254f9a605e03ec275 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xuanqiang Luo Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2026 11:13:45 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] fanotify: initialize permission event watchdog state fanotify permission events are allocated with kmem_cache_alloc(), but fanotify_alloc_perm_event() does not initialize watchdog_cnt. The watchdog reads watchdog_cnt after the event is moved to access_list. A stale value can make it warn too early or skip the warning. Initialize watchdog_cnt when allocating a permission event.
