[PATCH -v1 01/11] fsnotify: unified filesystem notification backend

From: Eric Paris
Date: Mon Feb 09 2009 - 16:16:57 EST


fsnotify is a backend for filesystem notification. fsnotify does
not provide any userspace interface but does provide the basis
needed for other notification schemes such as dnotify. fsnotify
can be extended to be the backend for inotify or the upcoming
fanotify. fsnotify provides a mechanism for "groups" to register for
some set of filesystem events and to then deliver those events to
those groups for processing.
