No, because in the case of IN_DELETE, the path represented by the WD hasn't been deleted, it is "PATH(WD)/event->name" that has been. Also, IN_DELETE_SELF marks the death of the WD, no further events will be sent with the same WD [Except for the IN_IGNORE]. -- John McCutchan <[email protected]> - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
