When the pipe is recreated, we get an inotify event, and then attempt to reopen the pipe. I have that attempt inside of a while loop so that if it fails, we'll reattempt until it works. It's highly unlikely that that would fail if the original open worked, but it's best to account for the possibility and attempt to handle it gracefully. -- Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
