This happened because the default f_mode of allocated files (0) does not disable pre-content events. Pre-content events are disabled in file_set_fsnotify_mode_by_watchers() but internal files may not get to call this helper. Initialize f_mode to disable permission and pre-content events for all files and if needed they will be enabled for the callers of file_set_fsnotify_mode_by_watchers().
