Coding style?

This error value is propageted back in current connector code already.

Not an eye-candy.

"," on the new line.

You do want to use RCU locking here.
It is fast path and it is not allowed to get global
smp-unfriendly read lock.

Can it be somehow turned off or moved into per-cpu variables?
It is a lot of smp-unfriendly access of global variables.

It of course costs much less than allocations and copies,
but no global lock at least.

A space from nowhere.

Coding style.

Yep, tty can mess the things.
Maybe remove all special devices at all?

Lost read_lock here - you will grab it in
__raise_fsevent()->filter_fsevents().

Add module_exit() too.

Main issue is locking in this patchset - it is not allowed to have such
a global lock in those pathes, moving this to RCU is the way to go and definitely not a
problem to implement.

Thank you.
