No, it was from a face to face meeting and a couple of irc conversations talk about all of this stuff. My understanding was that it was going to be a lot like dentry_open() only it was going to require a valid struct file and would return a new struct file. One of the purposes of the new interface being the ability to set f_mode at a better time to eliminate the FMODE/O_ overlapping horror that fanotify requires to prevent recursion and deadlock. > I'm also totally missing on any re-post of these patches or discussion > of the changes during the last development window. I just searched lkml an fsdevel where I usually send everything don't see then. I totally failed. I'm used to not hearing a peep about my patches so I never noticed the lack of feedback. I would have sworn the last set of patches I sent to both Al and the list, but apparently I only ever sent stuff to Al. Looks like all changes between f874e1ac21d770846 and 1968f5eed54ce47bde4 are the ones of interest. They are all notification internal except for one: http://git.infradead.org/users/eparis/notify.git/commitdiff/c1e5c954020e123d30b4abf4038ce501861bcf9f It screws with struct file refcnting.
