Out of laziness I used 'inotify' to mean both; also at one point
I was looking at some 2.6.x sources as there seemed to be
relevant changes in some mailing list.

But on 3 different system I have they really seem to be evicted,
and with regularity, and this does not happen if the inodes are
kept open.
>From the source I have looked at, the *notify code seems to
attempt to hold on to the inodes that are watched, but perhaps
it has some hidden assumptions that the 'audit' module does not
satisfy.
