Attached patch greatly cleans up inotify's ioctl method. Oh my.
Net loss of 36 lines.
Main thing is removing all of the access_ok() checks and _IOC macros.
We don't need them. We can just fall off the end of the switch and
return -EINVAL if the cmd does not match. Any other access control is
handled by the device node itself or the copy_from_user() calls.
Also, other misc. changes.
Patch is on top of 0.11.0.
Best,
Robert Love
