> 	unsigned long		bitmask[MAX_INOTIFY_DEV_WATCHERS/BITS_PER_LONG];

This assumes that MAX_INOTIFY_DEV_WATCHERS is an integral multiple
of BITS_PER_LONG, otherwise, the last word will be missing.

Perhaps this would this better be written as:

	DECLARE_BITMAP(bitmask, MAX_INOTIFY_DEV_WATCHERS);

and the clearing of it in the original patch:

> +	memset(dev->bitmask, 0,
> +	  sizeof(unsigned long) * MAX_INOTIFY_DEV_WATCHERS / BITS_PER_LONG);

might better be written as:

	CLEAR_BITMAP(dev->bitmask, MAX_INOTIFY_DEV_WATCHERS);
