That was a year ago.  I have trouble remembering emails I sent
yesterday.

We've been through this.
Maybe you silenced the smach warning on fsnotify() and the rename to
__fsnotifty()
caused this warning to refloat?

Yes.  Renaming the function will make it show up as a new warning.  Also
this is an email from the kbuild-bot and last years email was from me,
so it's a different tool and a different record of sent messages.

(IMO, you should really just remove the bogus NULL checks because
everyone looking at the warning will think the code is buggy).

I think the warning is really incorrect.
Why does it presume that event_info->dir is non-NULL?
Did smach check all the callers to fsnotify() or something?
What about future callers that will pass NULL, just like this one:

Please fix the tool.

Thanks,
