Subject: [RFC PATCH -v4 00/14] fsnotify, dnotify, and inotify
The following series implements a new generic in kernel filesystem
notification system, fsnotify. On top of fsnotify I reimplement dnotify and
inotify. I have not finished with the change from inotify although I think
inotify_user should be completed. In kernel inotify users (aka audit) still
(until I get positive feedback) relay on the old inotify backend. This can be
'easily' fixed.
All of this is in preperation for fanotify and using fanotify as an on access
file scanner. So you better know it's coming.
Why is this useful? Because I actually shrank the struct inode. That's
right, my code is smaller and faster. Eat that.
struct inode went from:
unsigned long i_dnotify_mask; /* Directory notify events */
struct dnotify_struct *i_dnotify; /* for directory notifications */
struct list_head inotify_watches; /* watches on this inode */
struct mutex inotify_mutex; /* protects the watches list */
to:
__u64 i_fsnotify_mask; /* all events this inode cares about */
struct list_head i_fsnotify_mark_entries; /* fsnotify mark entries */
This is just an RFC as I haven't tested it heavily I might still be able to
split patches. I think there are some problem at the moment trying to build
fsnotify out. I need to send patch 3 and 4 seperately. Actually I think it's
perfectly reasonable to take patches 1-4 as is right now.

Eric Paris (14):
shit on top for debugging
inotify: reimplement inotify using fsnotify
fsnotify: add correlations between events
fsnotify: include pathnames with entries when possible
fsnotify: generic notification queue and waitq
dnotify: reimplement dnotify using fsnotify
fsnotify: parent event notification
fsnotify: add in inode fsnotify markings
fsnotify: add group priorities
fsnotify: unified filesystem notification backend
fsnotify: use the new open-exec hook for inotify and dnotify
fsnotify: sys_execve and sys_uselib do not call into fsnotify
fsnotify: pass a file instead of an inode to open, read, and write
filesystem notification: create fs/notify to contain all fs notification
