I think you're right, I think we need checks there too...

BTW Is there a way to test the fsnotify code? I thought inotify was
supposed to be implemented with fsnotify, but I see quite a lot
of duplicated (or very similar) code... We've also still got
inotify calls in fs/ (inotify_umount_inodes). and CONFIG_INOTIFY and
CONFIG_FSNOTIFY conditionals in there too. Would it be possible to
move that out into fsnotify calls? (fsnotify_inode_init_once or
whatever).

(Sorry to hijack your good review comments :))

Thanks,
Nick
