The patch titled SIGIO-driven I/O with inotify queues has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was sigio-driven-i-o-with-inotify-queues.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ 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.
