From 33af5e32e0bb73c704b5e156f4411cdb53e6cc59 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Paris Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2009 21:24:33 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] fsnotify: ignored_mask - excluding notification The ignored_mask is a new mask which is part of fsnotify marks. A group's should_send_event() function can use the ignored mask to determine that certain events are not of interest. In particular if a group registers a mask including FS_OPEN on a vfsmount they could add FS_OPEN to the ignored_mask for individual inodes and not send open events for those inodes.
