A potential bug in inotify_user.c
Following comment is at fs/inotify_user.c:287
/* coalescing: drop this event if it is a dupe of the previous */
I think the previous event in the comment should be the last event in the
link list. But inotify_dev_get_event return the first event in the list.
In addition, it doesn't check whether the list is empty
