From 2a42754b3104d78a2bc7a2ad8844427411c76ca6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amir Goldstein Date: Mon, 3 Feb 2025 23:32:04 +0100 Subject: fsnotify: disable notification by default for all pseudo files Most pseudo files are not applicable for fsnotify events at all, let alone to the new pre-content events. Disable notifications to all files allocated with alloc_file_pseudo() and enable legacy inotify events for the specific cases of pipe and socket, which have known users of inotify events. Pre-content events are also kept disabled for sockets and pipes.
