2.6.24-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Ulisses Furquim patch ac74c00e499ed276a965e5b5600667d5dc04a84a in mainline. As the IN_ONESHOT bit is never set when an event is sent we must check it in the watch's mask and not in the event's mask.
