A question about the directory watch in audit_tree.c in kernel

["zhangxiliang" <zhangxiliang@cn.fujitsu.com>]

HI,
        When I use "auditctl -w /home" to watch a directory, nothing about the 
directory changed can be output.

       I found the "audit tree handle_event" in audit_tree.c in kernel. It 
implements as follows:

       static void handle_event(struct inotify_watch *watch, u32 wd, u32 mask,
                         u32 cookie, const char *dname, struct inode *inode)
{
	struct audit_chunk *chunk = container_of(watch, struct audit_chunk, watch);

	if (mask & IN_IGNORED) {
		evict_chunk(chunk);
		put_inotify_watch(watch);
	}
}

        In "handle_event", the mask can be "IN_MOVED_FROM", "IN_MOVED_TO", 
"IN_DELETE_SELF", "IN_IGNORED" and so on.
        Why it only deals with the mask  " IN_IGNORED" and ignores the other 
mask?
