-(iii) Internal Kernel Implementation
+(iii) Kernel Interface
 
-Each inotify instance is associated with an inotify_device structure.
+Inotify's kernel API consists a set of functions for managing watches and an
+event callback.
+
+To use the kernel API, you must first initialize an inotify instance with a set
+of inotify_operations.  You are given an opaque inotify_handle, which you use
+for any further calls to inotify.
+
+    struct inotify_handle *ih = inotify_init(my_event_handler);
+
+You must provide a function for processing events and a function for destroying
+the inotify watch.
+
+    void handle_event(struct inotify_watch *watch, u32 wd, u32 mask,
+                      u32 cookie, const char *name, struct inode *inode)
+
+        watch - the pointer to the inotify_watch that triggered this call
+        wd - the watch descriptor
+        mask - describes the event that occurred
+        cookie - an identifier for synchronizing events
+        name - the dentry name for affected files in a directory-based event
+        inode - the affected inode in a directory-based event
+
+    void destroy_watch(struct inotify_watch *watch)
+
+You may add watches by providing a pre-allocated and initialized inotify_watch
+structure and specifying the inode to watch along with an inotify event mask.
+You must pin the inode during the call.  You will likely wish to embed the
+inotify_watch structure in a structure of your own which contains other
+information about the watch.  Once you add an inotify watch, it is immediately
+subject to removal depending on filesystem events.  You must grab a reference if
+you depend on the watch hanging around after the call.
+
+    inotify_init_watch(&my_watch->iwatch);
+    inotify_get_watch(&my_watch->iwatch);       // optional
+    s32 wd = inotify_add_watch(ih, &my_watch->iwatch, inode, mask);
+    inotify_put_watch(&my_watch->iwatch);       // optional
+
+You may use the watch descriptor (wd) or the address of the inotify_watch for
+other inotify operations.  You must not directly read or manipulate data in the
+inotify_watch.  Additionally, you must not call inotify_add_watch() more than
+once for a given inotify_watch structure, unless you have first called either
+inotify_rm_watch() or inotify_rm_wd().
+
+To determine if you have already registered a watch for a given inode, you may
+call inotify_find_watch(), which gives you both the wd and the watch pointer for
+the inotify_watch, or an error if the watch does not exist.
+
+    wd = inotify_find_watch(ih, inode, &watchp);
+
+You may use container_of() on the watch pointer to access your own data
+associated with a given watch.  When an existing watch is found,
+inotify_find_watch() bumps the refcount before releasing its locks.  You must
+put that reference with:
+
+    put_inotify_watch(watchp);
+
+Call inotify_find_update_watch() to update the event mask for an existing watch.
+inotify_find_update_watch() returns the wd of the updated watch, or an error if
+the watch does not exist.
+
+    wd = inotify_find_update_watch(ih, inode, mask);
+
+An existing watch may be removed by calling either inotify_rm_watch() or
+inotify_rm_wd().
+
+    int ret = inotify_rm_watch(ih, &my_watch->iwatch);
+    int ret = inotify_rm_wd(ih, wd);
+
+A watch may be removed while executing your event handler with the following:
+
+    inotify_remove_watch_locked(ih, iwatch);
+
+Call inotify_destroy() to remove all watches from your inotify instance and
+release it.  If there are no outstanding references, inotify_destroy() will call
+your destroy_watch op for each watch.
+
+    inotify_destroy(ih);
+
+When inotify removes a watch, it sends an IN_IGNORED event to your callback.
+You may use this event as an indication to free the watch memory.  Note that
+inotify may remove a watch due to filesystem events, as well as by your request.
+If you use IN_ONESHOT, inotify will remove the watch after the first event, at
+which point you may call the final inotify_put_watch.

+(v) Internal Kernel Implementation
+
+Each inotify instance is represented by an inotify_handle structure.
+Inotify's userspace consumers also have an inotify_device which is
+associated with the inotify_handle, and on which events are queued.
 
 Each watch is associated with an inotify_watch structure.  Watches are chained
-off of each associated device and each associated inode.
+off of each associated inotify_handle and each associated inode.
