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.
