https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76851 --- Comment #4 from Jeff <junk.jsmith+kernel.org@xxxxxxxxx> --- I should also add that my assumptions about watch descriptor reuse may very well be overly cautious. If there is a guarantee that a wd will never be returned by a inotify_add_watch() call until nothing with that wd remains in the read queue, clients could handle deregistration semi-synchronously by knowing to drop locally unmapped events. This is something that I've not investigated recently, and I am completely uncertain of any guarantees, but the kernel folks may have already done this and just not passed the information along to users. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
