| |
Hello
This are the patches for 2.4.x inotify 0.22 backport. While probably there is no chance to have this included in vanilla 2.4.x I hope there are interested people that can test it out. Any feedback is very appreciated.
The modifications have been worked out on 2.4.27 (the kernel versions we need/use right now) and adapted for 2.4.30 to apply cleanly. We performed our testing with usermode linux and UML (virtual) SMP feature.
While developing/working on it at some point we observed a "create file" event not being generated for a new file. This only happened once and we were unable to reproduce this so far. So be careful :)
Also because of the x86 only atomic_inc_return backport the codes currently only compile for x86. It should be easy however to backport those codes for other architectures.
The following patches will be: - find_next_bit backport - idr backport - atomic_inc_return x86 backport - inotify specific codes backport
