From 6ad2d4e3e97ee4bfde0b45e8dfe37911330fc4aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Paris Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2010 17:21:56 -0400 Subject: fsnotify: implement ordering between notifiers fanotify needs to be able to specify that some groups get events before others. They use this idea to make sure that a hierarchical storage manager gets access to files before programs which actually use them. This is purely infrastructure. Everything will have a priority of 0, but the infrastructure will exist for it to be non-zero.
