sendfile: allows bypassing of notifier events
do_sendfile() in fs/read_write.c does not call the fsnotify functions, unlike its neighbors. This manifests as a lack of inotify ACCESS events when a file is sent using sendfile(2). Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12812 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: use fsnotify_modify(out.file), not fsnotify_access(), per Dave] Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Scott Wolchok <swolchok@umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
