[PATCH] Clean up inotify delete race fix
This avoids the whole #ifdef mess by just getting a copy of
dentry->d_inode before d_delete is called - that makes the codepaths the
same for the INOTIFY/DNOTIFY cases as for the regular no-notify case.
I've been running this under a Gnome session for the last 10 minutes.
Inotify is being used extensively.
