[GIT PULL] notification tree

From: Eric Paris
Date: Sat Oct 30 2010 - 14:44:26 EST


The notification tree has patches to address a number of fanotify
complaints from last cycle. The most important being the (ABI
compatible) addition of 'classes' which will allow things like
hierarchical storage managers to receive events before scanners or
indexers. It also includes default limits on the amount of memory an
fanotify listener can consume and other minor changes. An updated
example program which makes use of most all of the fanotify feature set
can be found at
