From 3be25f49b9d6a97eae9bcb96d3292072b7658bd8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Paris Date: Thu, 21 May 2009 17:01:26 -0400 Subject: fsnotify: add marks to inodes so groups can interpret how to handle those inodes This patch creates a way for fsnotify groups to attach marks to inodes. These marks have little meaning to the generic fsnotify infrastructure and thus their meaning should be interpreted by the group that attached them to the inode's list. dnotify and inotify will make use of these markings to indicate which inodes are of interest to their respective groups. But this implementation has the useful property that in the future other listeners could actually use the marks for the exact opposite reason, aka to indicate which inodes it had NO interest in.
