From 7050c48826d5adb2210bddfb6a67aa13bbe984ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Paris Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:27:10 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] inotify: do not reuse watch descriptors Prior to 2.6.31 inotify would not reuse watch descriptors until all of them had been used at least once. After the rewrite inotify would reuse watch descriptors. The selinux utility 'restorecond' was found to have problems when watch descriptors were reused. This patch reverts to the pre inotify rewrite behavior to not reuse watch descriptors.
