We do not want to add new bits to the FAN_ALL_* uapi constants because they have been exposed to userspace. If there are programs out there using these constants, those programs could break if re-compiled with modified FAN_ALL_* constants and run on an old kernel. We deprecate the uapi constants FAN_ALL_* and define new FANOTIFY_* constants for internal use to replace them. New feature bits will be added only to the new constants.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
