Date: Sun, 17 Jun 2012 21:02:50 -0700 (PDT) From: John <jhnlmn@...oo.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: eparis@...hat.com Subject: What is the status of fanotify bugs? Hi, I googled and found at least 2 fanotify bugs, which were discussed and patches were submitted but never merged into the kernel: 1. This one is more than 2 years old. Seems to be an obvious bug: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/46b25f4dfc96d811 2. This discussion was abruptly terminated last year: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/5e21ff2b0c446b69 And I have another problem, which is a complete show stopper for me: fsnotify/fanotify do not pass file/directory creation/deletion events when working in FAN_MARK_MOUNT mode. I was hoping to get notified about file system changes, but it appears to be impossible. A directory with many subdirectories can be deleted and fsnotify/fanotify completely ignore this event. So, I wonder whether fsnotify/fanotify framework is still being maintained and used by anybody. If nobody else cares about it, then I will need to make my own file system notification hook. But, of course, it would be better to fix fsnotify/fanotify so that I can avoid maintaining my own notification code. What do you think?
