From: Eric Paris Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2009 01:51:49 +0000 (-0400) Subject: inotify: tail drop inotify q_overflow events X-Git-Tag: v2.6.31-rc7~34 X-Git-Url: https://asedeno.scripts.mit.edu/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cd94c8bbef8d4b796a7ed4c551355a334604fd36;p=linux.git inotify: tail drop inotify q_overflow events In f44aebcc the tail drop logic of events with no file backing (q_overflow and in_ignored) was reversed so IN_IGNORED events would never be tail dropped. This now means that Q_OVERFLOW events are NOT tail dropped. The fix is to not tail drop IN_IGNORED, but to tail drop Q_OVERFLOW.
