Hi Bruce, thinking a bit more I guess using general encode_fh is not that convenient since it operates with dentries while our fdinfo output deals with inodes. Thus I should either provide some new encode_fh variant which would deal with inodes directly without "parents". Which doesn't look for me anyhow better than the new export_encode_inode_fh helper.Huh? You do have dentries, for crying out loud...Sometimes we don't -- the inotify thing gets an inode only. Unlike other notifies that have dentries at hands...
What's wrong with saying "we don't support idiotify"?
