    fanotify: fscking all notification system · ff0b16a9
    Eric Paris authored
    fanotify is a novel file notification system which bases notification on
    giving userspace both an event type (open, close, read, write) and an open
    file descriptor to the object in question.  This should address a number of
    races and problems with other notification systems like inotify and dnotify
    and should allow the future implementation of blocking or access controlled
    notification.  These are useful for on access scanners or hierachical storage
    management schemes.
    
    This patch just implements the basics of the fsnotify functions.
