Subject: [2.6.16-rc5-m3 PATCH] inotify: add the monitor for the event source
Date: Thu, 09 Mar 2006 00:33:35 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <440F075F.1030404@gmail.com> (raw)

Current inotify implementation only focus on change of file system, but it doesn't
 know who results in this change, this patch adds three fields to struct inotify_event,
 tgid, uid and gid, they will save process ID, user ID and user group ID of the process
 which leads to change in the file system, such software as anti-virus can make use 
of this feature to monitor who is modifying a specific file.
