inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly
its inability to scale and its terrible user interface:
* dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory
that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many
open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount.
* dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to
directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects
the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of
stat structures.
* dnotify's interface to user-space is awful. Signals?
inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change
notification:
* inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO.
You get a single fd, which is select()-able.
* inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item
you were watching is on was unmounted."
* inotify can watch directories or files.
Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure),
Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects.

This was a pure indentation change, using:
scripts/Lindent fs/reiserfs/*.c include/linux/reiserfs_*.h
to make reiserfs match the regular Linux indentation style. As Jeff
Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> writes:
The ReiserFS code is a mix of a number of different coding styles, sometimes
different even from line-to-line. Since the code has been relatively stable
for quite some time and there are few outstanding patches to be applied, it
is time to reformat the code to conform to the Linux style standard outlined
in Documentation/CodingStyle.
This patch contains the result of running scripts/Lindent against
fs/reiserfs/*.c and include/linux/reiserfs_*.h. There are places where the
code can be made to look better, but I'd rather keep those patches separate
so that there isn't a subtle by-hand hand accident in the middle of a huge
patch. To be clear: This patch is reformatting *only*.
A number of patches may follow that continue to make the code more consistent
with the Linux coding style.
Hans wasn't particularly enthusiastic about these patches, but said he
wouldn't really oppose them either.

To avoid deadlock when suspending a multipath device after all its paths have
failed, stop queueing any I/O that is about to fail *before* calling

if an error occurs during the process, save the previous queueing state and

While fixing an oops in the st driver in a dirty release path, I
encountered an oops in cdev_put for cdevs allocated using cdev_alloc. If
cdev_del is called when the cdev kobject still has an open user, when the
last cdev_put is called, the cdev_put will call kobject_put, which will end
up ultimately releasing the cdev in cdev_dynamic_release. Patch fixes the
oops by preventing cdev_put from accessing freed memory.

When a noninitial thread does exec, it becomes the new group leader. If
there is a ITIMER_REAL timer running, it points at the old group leader and
when it fires it can follow a stale pointer. The timer data needs to be
reset to point at the exec'ing thread that is becoming the group leader.
This has to synchronize with any concurrent firing of the timer to make
sure that it_real_fn can never run when the data points to a thread that
might have been reaped already.

This patch fixes a fairly serious tlb flushing bug that makes aio use under
uml very unreliable -- SEGVs, Oops and panic()s occur as a result of stale
tlb entires being used by uml when aio switches mms due to the fact that
uml does not implement the activate_mm() hook. This patch introduces a
simple but correct approach (read: hammer) for implementing activate_mm()
in uml by doing a force_flush_all() if the new mm is different from old.
With this patch in place, uml is able to succeed at the aio test case that
was randomly faulting for me before.
