Things that need to be fixed:
- Ignore masks, so that events on files can be ignored until the files are modified.
- Support for access decisions (by privileged processes).
- Per mount point notification (general subtree notification seems too hard).
- Clarify how mount point marks should propagate to new mounts from parent mounts, when creating a new bind mount, and to existing bind mounts.
- Include uid, not just pid.
Probably for the next round:
- Add a flag to turn off event merging (or make merging less aggressive) so that events will happen "in order"?
- Support non-root processes (will require permission checks).
- Reliable vs. non-reliable delivery: cannot allow non-privileged processes to have arbitrarily long event queues.
- Support directory events by passing an fd to the directory.
- Allow users to get a wd instead of an fd if desired (please explain!)
