Hi Evgeniy,
I've not looked closely at the patch, but a quick question. The
ookied field is unused for _most_ events, but is used for rename
events. Are you saying that with this patch, that the cookie will be
used as before for rename events, but for other events it will be the
PID of the triggering process? If so, that seems a bit ugly -- why
wouldn't we also be intersted in the PID for rename events?
Cheers,
Michael
