Eric Paris's fanotify patches look likely to make an appearance in the 2.6.36
kernel:
config FANOTIFY
bool "Filesystem wide access notification"
select FSNOTIFY
select ANON_INODES
default y
---help---
Say Y here to enable fanotify suport. fanotify is a file access
notification system which differs from inotify in that it sends
and open file descriptor to the userspace listener along with
the event.
If unsure, say Y.
config FANOTIFY_ACCESS_PERMISSIONS
bool "fanotify permissions checking"
depends on FANOTIFY
depends on SECURITY
default n
---help---
Say Y here is you want fanotify listeners to be able to make
permissions
decisions concerning filesystem events. This is used by some
fanotify
listeners which need to scan files before allowing the system access
to
use those files. This is used by some anti-malware vendors and by
some
hierarchical storage managent systems.
If unsure, say N.
Is that what you're looking for?
