From 2d9048e201bfb67ba21f05e647b1286b8a4a5667 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amy Griffis Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2006 13:10:59 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] inotify (1/5): split kernel API from userspace support The following series of patches introduces a kernel API for inotify, making it possible for kernel modules to benefit from inotify's mechanism for watching inodes. With these patches, inotify will maintain for each caller a list of watches (via an embedded struct inotify_watch), where each inotify_watch is associated with a corresponding struct inode. The caller registers an event handler and specifies for which filesystem events their event handler should be called per inotify_watch.
