From 2541aedb503a0c7b5700a3e799fc7bda6f0242fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lino Sanfilippo Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2013 10:05:30 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] dnotify: replace dnotify_mark_mutex with mark mutex of dnotify_group There is no need to use a special mutex to protect against the fcntl/close race (see dnotify.c for a description of this race). Instead the dnotify_groups mark mutex can be used.
