Anton, I had used the 2.6.12 kernel with the latest Inotify. There was no "I_WILL_FREE" in the any place. And, there was no problem in compilation.
I believe Inotify is very useful and should be included in the next versions of the kernel. Are there any ongoing plans for this?

If so I am not sure when the I_WILL_FREE stuff came into existence, so should inotify.c not compile after applying this patch just delete the " | I_WILL_FREE " in the two places it occurs introduced by the patch and all should be fine.
