The patch does not apply clean:

develop:/usr/src/linux-2.6.git.linus# patch -p1 
< /home/crissi/download2/inotify_fsnotify_test.patch
patching file fs/notify/inotify/inotify_fsnotify.c
Hunk #1 succeeded at 107 (offset -72 lines).
patching file fs/notify/inotify/inotify_user.c
Hunk #1 FAILED at 431.

Is it against 2.6.31-rc6 or current git? I have 2.6.31-rc6-00195-gc124891.
I did an update to latest from linus and try to apply your patch but it fails 
there too (no changes in the files after update from git).


Best regards

Christoph
