+Bugzilla: 696821
+Upstream-status: Sent http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=139835974112096&w=2
+
+On 64-bit systems, O_LARGEFILE is automatically added to flags inside
+the open() syscall (also openat(), blkdev_open(), etc).
+Userspace therefore defines O_LARGEFILE to be 0 - you can use it,
+but it's a no-op. Everything should be O_LARGEFILE by default.
+
+But: when fanotify does create_fd() it uses dentry_open(), which skips
+all that. And userspace can't set O_LARGEFILE in fanotify_init() because
+it's defined to 0. So if fanotify gets an event regarding a large file,
+the read() will just fail with -EOVERFLOW.
+
+This patch adds O_LARGEFILE to fanotify_init()'s event_f_flags on 64-bit
+systems, using the same test as open()/openat()/etc.
+
+Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=696821
