Subject: [PATCH] inotify (4/5): allow watch removal from event handler
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.18-rc1~1102^2~20
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3ca10067f7f4bfa62a1b0edc84f590261fa02d75;p=linux-2.6

[PATCH] inotify (4/5): allow watch removal from event handler

Allow callers to remove watches from their event handler via
inotify_remove_watch_locked().  This functionality can be used to
achieve IN_ONESHOT-like functionality for a subset of events in the
mask.
