filesystem notification: create fs/notify to contain all fs notification Creating a generic filesystem notification interface, fsnotify, which will be used by inotify, dnotify, and eventually fanotify is really starting to clutter the fs directory. This patch simply moves inotify and dnotify into fs/notify/inotify and fs/notify/dnotify respectively to make both current fs/ and future notification tidier.

inotify: reimplement inotify using fsnotify Reimplement inotify_user using fsnotify. This should be feature for feature exactly the same as the original inotify_user. This does not make any changes to the in kernel inotify feature used by audit. Those patches (and the eventual removal of in kernel inotify) will come after the new inotify_user proves to be working correctly.

Say Y here to enable legacy in kernel inotify support. Inotify is a
file change notification system. It is a replacement for dnotify.
This option only provides the legacy inotify in kernel API. There
are no in tree kernel users of this interface since it is deprecated.
You only need this if you are loading an out of tree kernel module
that uses inotify.

select ANON_INODES
fsnotify: use def_bool in kconfig instead of letting the user choose fsnotify doens't give the user anything. If someone chooses inotify or dnotify it should build fsnotify, if they don't select one it shouldn't be built. This patch changes fsnotify to be a def_bool=n and makes everything else select it. Also fixes the issue people complained about on lwn where gdm hung because they didn't have inotify and they didn't get the inotify build option..... Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

Inotify fixes numerous shortcomings in dnotify and introduces several
new features including multiple file events, one-shot support, and
unmount notification.
