[C/R v20][PATCH 53/96] c/r: refuse to checkpoint if monitoring directories with dnotify

From: Oren Laadan
Date: Wed Mar 17 2010 - 12:16:48 EST


From: Matt Helsley <matthltc@xxxxxxxxxx>

We do not support restarting fsnotify watches. inotify and fanotify utilize
anon_inodes for pseudofiles which lack the .checkpoint operation. So they
already cleanly prevent checkpoint. dnotify on the other hand registers
its watches using fcntl() which does not require the userspace task to
hold an fd with an empty .checkpoint operation. This means userspace
could use dnotify to set up fsnotify watches which won't be re-created during
restart.

Check for fsnotify watches created with dnotify and reject checkpoint
if there are any.
