Subject: [PATCH mmotm] fsnotify: don't slow everything down
Date: Sun, 17 May 2009 14:52:32 +0100 (BST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0905171445290.18657@blonde.anvils> (raw)

Two little fixes to mmotm's fsnotify-parent-event-notification.patch:

Why is copying or building a kernel tree using twice as much system time
as before?  Lots of time spent in __fsnotify_update_child_dentry_flags()
when it shouldn't even get called.  Fix | to & in __fsnotify_parent().

And it's probably a bad idea to have DCACHE_FSNOTIFY_PARENT_WATCHED
sharing the same d_flags bit as DCACHE_COOKIE: though the COOKIE bit has
prior claim, change it to keep the NOTIFY_PARENT_WATCHED bits together.
