So, revisiting the question of inotifying, write() is indeed a case which
warrants notification (I think). Just was not sure what callers
unionfs_copy_attr_times can have.

On lookup? No inotify if you ask me...

Can't decide ;-)

permission => readonly operation => no inotify

unlink => write operation => inotify
