Hi, I'm working on a program (notifyfs) which monitors various fs events like create/change/delete of files and directories (using inotify on linux), mount and unmounts (by monitoring /proc/self/mountinfo on linux) and locks (by watching the /proc/locks file). I have the idea to also enable local AND remote monitoring by using a remote notifyfs server. Now with watching /proc/locks, I hoped it would work the same as with watching the /proc/self/mountinfo: open it readonly, add the fd to the eventloop (in my case with epoll, using EPOLLERR as flag). Now thanks to Karel Zak I've found out that the /proc/self/mountinfo file is pollable and /proc/locks not. Before I write a patch, Is it the way to go for me to enable the polling on the /proc/locks file, just like it's done on the mountinfo file?
