Commita95aef69a7("fanotify: support reporting non-decodeable file handles") merged in v6.5-rc1, added the ability to use an fanotify group with FAN_REPORT_FID mode to watch filesystems that do not support nfs export, but do know how to encode non-decodeable file handles, with the newly introduced AT_HANDLE_FID flag. At the time that this commit was merged, there were no filesystems in-tree with those traits. Commit16aac5ad1f("ovl: support encoding non-decodable file handles"), merged in v6.6-rc1, added this trait to overlayfs, thus allowing fanotify watching of overlayfs with FAN_REPORT_FID mode. In retrospect, allowing an fanotify filesystem/mount mark on such filesystem in FAN_REPORT_FID mode will result in getting events with file handles, without the ability to resolve the filesystem objects from those file handles (i.e. no open_by_handle_at() support). For v6.6, the safer option would be to allow this mode for inode marks only, where the caller has the opportunity to use name_to_handle_at() at the time of setting the mark. In the future we can revise this decision.

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.
