From b4e4e1407312ae5a267ed7d716e6d4e7120a8430 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Paris Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2009 21:24:21 -0500 Subject: fsnotify: clone existing events fsnotify_clone_event will take an event, clone it, and return the cloned event to the caller. Since events may be in use by multiple fsnotify groups simultaneously certain event entries (such as the mask) cannot be changed after the event was created. Since fanotify would like to merge events happening on the same file it needs a new clean event to work with so it can change any fields it wishes.
