[PATCH] inotify: add MOVE_SELF event
This adds a MOVE_SELF event to inotify. It is sent whenever the inode you are watching is moved. We need this event so that we can catch something like this: - app1: watch /etc/mtab - app2: cp /etc/mtab /tmp/mtab-work mv /etc/mtab /etc/mtab~ mv /tmp/mtab-work /etc/mtab app1 still thinks it's watching /etc/mtab but it's actually watching /etc/mtab~.
