Sounds good to me.
And I agree to the comment about fsnotify_init_event()
Apropos event merging, I ran across a simple create/delete files
workload where fanotify_merge() was hogging the CPU.
I currently carry a small private patch to limit the merge depth to 128
recent events. I still didn't have time to think about the best way to
deal with this properly.
Thanks,
Amir.
