From eef3a116be11d35396efb2a8cc7345fd3221e294 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Paris Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2009 21:51:44 -0400 Subject: notify: unused event private race inotify decides if private data it passed to get added to an event was used by checking list_empty(). But it's possible that the event may have been dequeued and the private event removed so it would look empty. The fix is to use the return code from fsnotify_add_notify_event rather than looking at the list.
