The copy_info_records_to_user() helper allows for the separation of info record copying routines/conditionals from copy_event_to_user(), which reduces the overall clutter within this function. This becomes especially true as we start introducing additional info records in the future i.e. struct fanotify_event_info_pidfd. On success, this helper returns the total amount of bytes that have been copied into the user supplied buffer and on error, a negative value is returned to the caller. The newly defined macro FANOTIFY_INFO_MODES can be used to obtain info record types that have been enabled for a specific notification group. This macro becomes useful in the subsequent patch when the FAN_REPORT_PIDFD initialization flag is introduced.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
