The patch titled Subject: sendfile: allows bypassing of notifier events has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was sendfile-allows-bypassing-of-notifier-events.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Scott Wolchok <swolchok@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: sendfile: allows bypassing of notifier events do_sendfile() in fs/read_write.c does not call the fsnotify functions, unlike its neighbors. This manifests as a lack of inotify ACCESS events when a file is sent using sendfile(2).
