From cdc321ff0af78e818c97d4787f62bf52bdf9db2a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Paris Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2009 11:13:30 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] inotify: deprecate the inotify kernel interface In 2.6.33 there will be no users of the inotify interface. Mark it for removal as fsnotify is more generic and is easier to use.
