When file handle is embedded inside fanotify_event and usercopy checks
are enabled, we get a warning like:
Bad or missing usercopy whitelist? Kernel memory exposure attempt detected
from SLAB object 'fanotify_event' (offset 40, size 8)!
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 7649 at mm/usercopy.c:78 usercopy_warn+0xeb/0x110
mm/usercopy.c:78
Annotate handling in fanotify_event properly to mark copying it to
userspace is fine.

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.
