7 * Basic idea behind the notification queue: An fsnotify group (like inotify)
8 * sends the userspace notification about events asynchronously some time after
9 * the event happened. When inotify gets an event it will need to add that
10 * event to the group notify queue. Since a single event might need to be on
11 * multiple group's notification queues we can't add the event directly to each
12 * queue and instead add a small "event_holder" to each queue. This event_holder
13 * has a pointer back to the original event. Since the majority of events are
14 * going to end up on one, and only one, notification queue we embed one
15 * event_holder into each event. This means we have a single allocation instead
16 * of always needing two. If the embedded event_holder is already in use by
17 * another group a new event_holder (from fsnotify_event_holder_cachep) will be
