If I were doing this, and I admit I may not understand all of the features, I would have a bitmap per filesystem of inodes being watched, and anything which did an action which might require notify would check the bit. If the bit were set the filesystem and inode info would be passed to user space which could do anything it wanted.

How do you identify the filesystem? Whose mount namespace do you use if you have multiple processes in different namespaces watching what is really the same file?
