From cb2d429faf2cae62d3c51e28099a181d5fe8c244 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Paris Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2009 21:24:34 -0500 Subject: fsnotify: add group priorities This introduces an ordering to fsnotify groups. With purely asynchronous notification based "things" implementing fsnotify (inotify, dnotify) ordering isn't particularly important. But if people want to use fsnotify for the basis of sycronous notification or blocking notification ordering becomes important. eg. A Hierarchical Storage Management listener would need to get its event before an AV scanner could get its event (since the HSM would need to bring the data in for the AV scanner to scan.) Typically asynchronous notification would want to run after the AV scanner made any relevant access decisions so as to not send notification about an event that was denied.
