Linus,
Please consider pulling the new filesystem notification patch queue
which has been in linux-next for a number of weeks. This patch series
implements a new generic infrastructure called fsnotify and reimplements
inotify-user and dnotify on top of the generic infrastructure. I will
be working with Al in the coming days to find a way to merge the last in
kernel user of inotify (audit) so we can start start to kick that old
inotify code out. Big winner here, new extensible notification
framework and we shrink struct inode.
-Eric
