I guess this answers our question whether we could disable fsnoitfy
watches on pseudo inodes....

From comments like these in chromium code:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/mojo/core/watcher_dispatcher.cc#77
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/base/files/file_descriptor_watcher_posix.cc#176
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/ipc/ipc_channel_mojo.cc#240

I am taking a wild guess that the missing FS_CLOSE event on anonymous pipes is
the cause for regression.

The motivation for the patch "fs: Do not check if there is a fsnotify
watcher on pseudo inodes"
was performance, but actually, FS_CLOSE and FS_OPEN events probably do
not impact
performance as FS_MODIFY and FS_ACCESS.

Mel,

Do your perf results support the claim above?

Jan/Linus,

Do you agree that dropping FS_MODIFY/FS_ACCESS events for FMODE_STREAM
files as a general rule should be safe?

Maxim, can you try if the attached patch fixes the chromium regression.
It is expected to leave the FS_OPEN/FS_CLOSE events on anonymous pipes
but drop the FS_MODIFY/FS_ACCESS events.

Thanks,
Amir.

Subject: [PATCH] fsnotify: suppress access/modify events on stream files

We wanted to suppress all fsnotify events on anonymous pipes/sockets,
but chromioum seems to be relying on some of those events.

Let's try to suppress only access/modify events on stream files.
