[PATCH] fsnotify: Extend ioctl to allow to suppress events

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch adds a new ioctl cmd INOTIFY_IOC_SUPRESS to stop queueing
events temporarily. A second ioctl could resume queueing events again.
With it enabled, we could easily suppress events instead of updating
or removing watches, especially if we have losts of watches referring
to one inotify instance, for example watching a directory recursively.
