[PATCH 1/1] fsnotify: clear PARENT_WATCHED flags lazily

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

 



From: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@xxxxxxxxx>

Call fsnotify_update_children_dentry_flags() to set PARENT_WATCHED flags
only when parent starts watching children.

When parent stops watching children, clear false positive PARENT_WATCHED
flags lazily in __fsnotify_parent() for each accessed child.
