I personally would drop this from the patch if it was me, it doesn't
change the behavior so it falls under the "noise" category, which
could be a problem considering the lack of response on the original
posting and this one. Small, focused patches have a better shot of
review/merging.

Since the fanotify_perm_event:extra_info_buf and
fanotify_response:extra_info_buf are the same type/length, and they
will be the same regardless of the extra_info_type field, why not
simply get rid of the above switch statement and do something like
this:
memcpy(event->extra_info_buf, response->extra_info_buf,
sizeof(response->extra_info_buf));

Is this why you decided to shrink the fanotify_response:response field
from 32-bits to 16-bits? I hope not. I would suggest both keeping
the existing response field as 32-bits and explicitly checking for
writes that are either the existing/compat length as well as the
newer, longer length.

Since both the kernel and userspace are going to need to agree on the
content and formatting of the fanotify_response:extra_info_buf field,
why is it hidden behind a char array? You might as well get rid of
that abstraction and put the union directly in the fanotify_response
struct. It is possible you could also get rid of the
fanotify_response_audit_rule struct this way too and just access the
rule scalar directly.
