The patch titled SIGIO-driven I/O with inotify queues has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is sigio-driven-i-o-with-inotify-queues.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: SIGIO-driven I/O with inotify queues From: Dmitry Antipov <antipov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Add SIGIO-driven I/O for descriptors returned by inotify_init(). The thing may be enabled by convenient fcntl (fd, F_SETFL, O_ASYNC) call.
