Inotify: Fix build failure in inotify user support

2010-04-30T17:14:56+00:00

CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER defined but CONFIG_ANON_INODES undefined will result
in the following build failure:

    LD      vmlinux
  fs/built-in.o: In function 'sys_inotify_init1':
  (.text.sys_inotify_init1+0x22c): undefined reference to 'anon_inode_getfd'
  fs/built-in.o: In function `sys_inotify_init1':
  (.text.sys_inotify_init1+0x22c): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_26 against 'anon_inode_getfd'
  make[2]: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
  make[1]: *** [sub-make] Error 2
  make: *** [all] Error 2

fsnotify: use def_bool in kconfig instead of letting the user choose

2009-07-21T19:26:26+00:00

fsnotify doens't give the user anything.  If someone chooses inotify or
dnotify it should build fsnotify, if they don't select one it shouldn't be
built.  This patch changes fsnotify to be a def_bool=n and makes everything
else select it.  Also fixes the issue people complained about on lwn where
gdm hung because they didn't have inotify and they didn't get the inotify
build option.....

inotify: reimplement inotify using fsnotify

2009-06-11T18:57:54+00:00

Reimplement inotify_user using fsnotify.  This should be feature for feature
exactly the same as the original inotify_user.  This does not make any changes
to the in kernel inotify feature used by audit.  Those patches (and the eventual
removal of in kernel inotify) will come after the new inotify_user proves to be
working correctly.

filesystem notification: create fs/notify to contain all fs notification

2008-12-31T23:07:43+00:00

Creating a generic filesystem notification interface, fsnotify, which will be
used by inotify, dnotify, and eventually fanotify is really starting to
clutter the fs directory.  This patch simply moves inotify and dnotify into
fs/notify/inotify and fs/notify/dnotify respectively to make both current fs/
and future notification tidier.
