The patch titled
inotify: add interfaces to kernel API
has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is
inotify-add-interfaces-to-kernel-api.patch
See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find
out what to do about this
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: inotify: add interfaces to kernel API
From: Amy Griffis <amy.griffis@xxxxxx>
Add inotify_init_watch() so caller can use inotify_watch refcounts before
calling inotify_add_watch().
Add inotify_find_watch() to find an existing watch for an (ih,inode) pair.
This is similar to inotify_find_update_watch(), but does not update the
watch's mask if one is found.
Add inotify_rm_watch() to remove a watch via the watch pointer instead of the
watch descriptor.
