Here is an updated rediff for 2.6.12-rc3, with the changes from the last
day or so added:

        - Add oneshot support for Tridge and Jeremy.
        - Send IN_ATTRIB event on xattr change.
        - Mark the open device as nonseekable.

Andrew, can you please replace the current inotify patch in 2.6-mm with
this?

Best,

inotify!

inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly
its inability to scale and its terrible user interface:

        * dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory
          that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many
          open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount.
        * dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to
          directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects
          the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of
          stat structures.
        * dnotify's interface to user-space is awful.  Signals?

inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change
notification:

        * inotify's interface is a device node, not SIGIO.  You open a 
          single fd to the device node, which is select()-able.
        * inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item
          you were watching is on was unmounted."
        * inotify can watch directories or files.

Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure),
Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects.

+                                   inotify
+            a powerful yet simple file change notification system
+
+
+
+Document started 15 Mar 2005 by Robert Love <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
+
+(i) User Interface
+
+Inotify is controlled by a device node, /dev/inotify.  If you do not use udev,
+this device may need to be created manually.  First step, open it
+
+       int dev_fd = open ("/dev/inotify", O_RDONLY);
+
+Change events are managed by "watches".  A watch is an (object,mask) pair where
+the object is a file or directory and the mask is a bitmask of one or more
+inotify events that the application wishes to receive.  See <linux/inotify.h>
+for valid events.  A watch is referenced by a watch descriptor, or wd.
+
+Watches are added via a file descriptor.
+
+Watches on a directory will return events on any files inside of the directory.
+
+Adding a watch is simple,
+
+       /* 'wd' represents the watch on fd with mask */
+       struct inotify_request req = { fd, mask };
+       int wd = ioctl (dev_fd, INOTIFY_WATCH, &req);
+
+You can add a large number of files via something like
+
+       for each file to watch {
+               struct inotify_request req;
+               int file_fd;
+
+               file_fd = open (file, O_RDONLY);
+               if (fd < 0) {
+                       perror ("open");
+                       break;
+               }
+
+               req.fd = file_fd;
+               req.mask = mask;
+
+               wd = ioctl (dev_fd, INOTIFY_WATCH, &req);
+
+               close (fd);
+       }
+
+You can update an existing watch in the same manner, by passing in a new mask.
+
+An existing watch is removed via the INOTIFY_IGNORE ioctl, for example
+
+       ioctl (dev_fd, INOTIFY_IGNORE, wd);
+
+Events are provided in the form of an inotify_event structure that is read(2)
+from /dev/inotify.  The filename is of dynamic length and follows the struct.
+It is of size len.  The filename is padded with null bytes to ensure proper
+alignment.  This padding is reflected in len.
+
+You can slurp multiple events by passing a large buffer, for example
+
+       size_t len = read (fd, buf, BUF_LEN);
+
+Will return as many events as are available and fit in BUF_LEN.
+
+/dev/inotify is also select() and poll() able.
+
+You can find the size of the current event queue via the FIONREAD ioctl.
+
+All watches are destroyed and cleaned up on close.
+
+
+(ii) Internal Kernel Implementation
+
+Each open inotify device is associated with an inotify_device structure.
+
+Each watch is associated with an inotify_watch structure.  Watches are chained
+off of each associated device and each associated inode.
+
+See fs/inotify.c for the locking and lifetime rules.
