Does it fix hibernation issues you observe without causing issues with bash and other programs? I'd like to queue this patch for the coming merge window but I'd like to see some testing results showing that it actually helps anything... Thanks!

Notably, when running in conjuction with BitDefender Anti-Virus I have noticed issues when cloning large git projects (seems to be a good stress test on open()). I believe the problems go away when BD is stopped. At this point I'm not sure if the issue lies more with BD or with the kernel patch.

Switch waiting for response to fanotify permission events interruptible. This allows e.g. the system to be suspended while there are some fanotify permission events pending (which is reportedly pretty common when for example AV solution is in use). However just making the wait interruptible can result in e.g. open(2) returning -EINTR where previously such error code never happened in practice. To avoid confusion of userspace due to this error code, return -ERESTARTNOINTR instead.
