file/directory changes not working with openSUSE 10.2/ kernel 2.6.18?

[Marcus Meissner]

Hi,

While running make check on the (64bit) kernel 2.6.18 supplied
with openSUSE 10.2, I get failures in the kernel/tests/change and
ntdll/tests/change tests:

I tried setting a breakpoint on inotify_poll_event and inotify_get_poll_events
but they do not trigger even once.

My suspicion is that the new kernel don't wake the queue correctly. :/

Ciao, Marcus
