20  * Basic idea behind the notification queue: An fsnotify group (like inotify)
21  * sends the userspace notification about events asyncronously some time after
22  * the event happened.  When inotify gets an event it will need to add that
23  * event to the group notify queue.  Since a single event might need to be on
24  * multiple group's notification queues we can't add the event directly to each
25  * queue and instead add a small "event_holder" to each queue.  This event_holder
26  * has a pointer back to the original event.  Since the majority of events are
27  * going to end up on one, and only one, notification queue we embed one
28  * event_holder into each event.  This means we have a single allocation instead
29  * of always needing two.  If the embedded event_holder is already in use by
30  * another group a new event_holder (from fsnotify_event_holder_cachep) will be
31  * allocated and used.
