Hi Jan,

Thanks again for these patches and your patience; some travel,
holidays, and a job change delayed my review.  However, everything
looks okay to me (minus the one problem I noted in patch 09/11).  I've
added the patches to audit/working-fsnotify_fixes and I'm going to
start stressing them as soon as I get a test kernel built with the
idea of merging them into audit/next as soon as the upcoming merge
window closes.

As far as the variable rename is concerned, that's not something I
would prefer to change during a merge, but if you or Richard wanted to
submit a renaming patch I would be okay with that in this case.  If
you do submit the rename patch, please base it on top of this patchset
(or audit/working-fsnotify_fixes).

Thanks!
