From 7544953685859875b5ac0260b6b1856066c092d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John McCutchan Date: Mon, 1 Aug 2005 11:00:45 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] inotify: fix file deletion by rename detection When a file is moved over an existing file that you are watching, inotify won't send you a DELETE_SELF event and it won't unref the inode until the inotify instance is closed by the application.
