OK.  So if you don't mind the fact that there are filesystems with
inotify support but not filehandle support, then I think generating a
filehandle early as you describe would work.  I guess it's a little more
memory per watched inode.

For the minority of FSs that do not have a filehandle support it should
be easy to generate a generic one, that should work 95% of the time.

Are we guaranteed that after the checkpoint restore the version of
the Kernel is the same as the one that did the checkpoint? If yes
then I don't see any problem.

--b.
