[PATCH 2/3] inotify: do not BUG on idr entries at inotify destruction

From: Eric Paris
Date: Mon Aug 24 2009 - 13:38:56 EST


If an inotify watch is left in the idr when an fsnotify group is destroyed
this will lead to a BUG. This is not a dangerous situation and really
indicates a programming bug and leak of memory. This patch changes it to
use a WARN and a printk rather than killing people's boxes.
