Agreed. But thinking about it a bit more and looking at your patch on Github I think your solution doesn't quite work in presence of event merging since an event with FAN_ONDIR can get merged with event without FAN_ONDIR, can't it? That seems to be generally a problem with should_merge() for direntry events that it doesn't take ISDIR flag into account... Honza -- Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxxx> SUSE Labs, CR
