(iii) Kernel Interface
(iii) Internal Kernel Implementation

Inotify's kernel API consists a set of functions for managing watches and an
event callback.

To use the kernel API, you must first initialize an inotify instance with a set
of inotify_operations. You are given an opaque inotify_handle, which you use
for any further calls to inotify.

struct inotify_handle *ih = inotify_init(my_event_handler);

You must provide a function for processing events and a function for destroying
the inotify watch.

void handle_event(struct inotify_watch *watch, u32 wd, u32 mask,
u32 cookie, const char *name, struct inode *inode)

watch - the pointer to the inotify_watch that triggered this call
wd - the watch descriptor
mask - describes the event that occurred
cookie - an identifier for synchronizing events
name - the dentry name for affected files in a directory-based event
inode - the affected inode in a directory-based event

void destroy_watch(struct inotify_watch *watch)

You may add watches by providing a pre-allocated and initialized inotify_watch
structure and specifying the inode to watch along with an inotify event mask.
You must pin the inode during the call. You will likely wish to embed the
inotify_watch structure in a structure of your own which contains other
information about the watch. Once you add an inotify watch, it is immediately
subject to removal depending on filesystem events. You must grab a reference if
you depend on the watch hanging around after the call.

inotify_init_watch(&my_watch->iwatch);
inotify_get_watch(&my_watch->iwatch); // optional
s32 wd = inotify_add_watch(ih, &my_watch->iwatch, inode, mask);
inotify_put_watch(&my_watch->iwatch); // optional

You may use the watch descriptor (wd) or the address of the inotify_watch for
other inotify operations. You must not directly read or manipulate data in the
inotify_watch. Additionally, you must not call inotify_add_watch() more than
once for a given inotify_watch structure, unless you have first called either
inotify_rm_watch() or inotify_rm_wd().

To determine if you have already registered a watch for a given inode, you may
call inotify_find_watch(), which gives you both the wd and the watch pointer for
the inotify_watch, or an error if the watch does not exist.

wd = inotify_find_watch(ih, inode, &watchp);

You may use container_of() on the watch pointer to access your own data
associated with a given watch. When an existing watch is found,
inotify_find_watch() bumps the refcount before releasing its locks. You must
put that reference with:

put_inotify_watch(watchp);

Call inotify_find_update_watch() to update the event mask for an existing watch.
inotify_find_update_watch() returns the wd of the updated watch, or an error if
the watch does not exist.

wd = inotify_find_update_watch(ih, inode, mask);

An existing watch may be removed by calling either inotify_rm_watch() or
inotify_rm_wd().

int ret = inotify_rm_watch(ih, &my_watch->iwatch);
int ret = inotify_rm_wd(ih, wd);

A watch may be removed while executing your event handler with the following:

inotify_remove_watch_locked(ih, iwatch);

Call inotify_destroy() to remove all watches from your inotify instance and
release it. If there are no outstanding references, inotify_destroy() will call
your destroy_watch op for each watch.

inotify_destroy(ih);

When inotify removes a watch, it sends an IN_IGNORED event to your callback.
You may use this event as an indication to free the watch memory. Note that
inotify may remove a watch due to filesystem events, as well as by your request.
If you use IN_ONESHOT, inotify will remove the watch after the first event, at
which point you may call the final inotify_put_watch.

(v) Internal Kernel Implementation

Each inotify instance is represented by an inotify_handle structure.
Inotify's userspace consumers also have an inotify_device which is
associated with the inotify_handle, and on which events are queued.
Each inotify instance is associated with an inotify_device structure.

Each watch is associated with an inotify_watch structure. Watches are chained
off of each associated inotify_handle and each associated inode.
