From: Keith Packard Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2009 04:56:38 +0000 (-0700) Subject: fs/notify/inotify: decrement user inotify count on close X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bdae997f44535ac4ebe1e055ffe59eeee946f453;p=linux-beck.git fs/notify/inotify: decrement user inotify count on close The per-user inotify_devs value is incremented each time a new file is allocated, but never decremented. This led to inotify_init failing after a limited number of calls.
