These numbers are checked to spot changes to a directory while the
directory is scanned.
event is declared in <linux/sched.h> and defined in kernel/sched.c.
It is only ever used by filesystem code.
Should these values be generated by some SMP-safe atomic
increment-and-read operation? I couldn't find anything suitable in
<asm/atomic.h>.
Or is the surrounding code always called in an atomic context anyway?
