When waiting for response to fanotify permission events, we currently use uninterruptible waits. That makes code simple however it can cause lots of processes to end up in uninterruptible sleep with hard reboot being the only alternative in case fanotify listener process stops responding (e.g. due to a bug in its implementation). Uninterruptible sleep also makes system hibernation fail if the listener gets frozen before the process generating fanotify permission event. Fix these problems by using interruptible sleep for waiting for response to fanotify event. This is slightly tricky though - we have to detect when the event got already reported to userspace as in that case we must not free the event. Instead we push the responsibility for freeing the event to the process that will write response to the event.

README
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.
