From a2d8bc6cb4a3024661baf877242f123787d0c054 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Paris Date: Thu, 21 May 2009 17:01:37 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] fsnotify: generic notification queue and waitq inotify needs to do asyc notification in which event information is stored on a queue until the listener is ready to receive it. This patch implements a generic notification queue for inotify (and later fanotify) to store events to be sent at a later time.
