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().
