Subject: Make fsnotify possibly work better for the inode removal case
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f805fbdaacf4367ce566743a665622387768ac0d;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

Make fsnotify possibly work better for the inode removal case

Checking i_nlink is dubious, but the alternatives look even
less appetizing.
