39 * Lock ordering:
41 * dentry->d_lock (used to keep d_move() away from dentry->d_parent)
42 * iprune_mutex (synchronize shrink_icache_memory())
43 * inode_lock (protects the super_block->s_inodes list)
44 * inode->inotify_mutex (protects inode->inotify_watches and watches->i_list)
45 * inotify_handle->mutex (protects inotify_handle and watches->h_list)
47 * The inode->inotify_mutex and inotify_handle->mutex and held during execution
48 * of a caller's event handler. Thus, the caller must not hold any locks
49 * taken in their event handler while calling any of the published inotify
50 * interfaces.
54 * Lifetimes of the three main data structures--inotify_handle, inode, and
55 * inotify_watch--are managed by reference count.
57 * inotify_handle: Lifetime is from inotify_init() to inotify_destroy().
58 * Additional references can bump the count via get_inotify_handle() and drop
59 * the count via put_inotify_handle().
61 * inotify_watch: for inotify's purposes, lifetime is from inotify_add_watch()
62 * to remove_watch_no_event(). Additional references can bump the count via
63 * get_inotify_watch() and drop the count via put_inotify_watch(). The caller
64 * is reponsible for the final put after receiving IN_IGNORED, or when using
65 * IN_ONESHOT after receiving the first event. Inotify does the final put if
66 * inotify_destroy() is called.
68 * inode: Pinned so long as the inode is associated with a watch, from
69 * inotify_add_watch() to the final put_inotify_watch().
73 * struct inotify_handle - represents an inotify instance
75 * This structure is protected by the mutex 'mutex'.
