Subject: [PATCH] xapcmd: delay over->check_inodes trigger
Date: Sun,  5 Jul 2020 21:51:31 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200705215131.22450-1-e@yhbt.net> (raw)

We must not trigger wakeups on InboxIdle users until after we've
renamed all files into place.  Otherwise, the InboxIdle caller
may just reopen the old (soon-to-be-unlinked) file.

This fixes occasional test failures in t/nntpd.t

Fixes: f977826a17f8735e ("lock: reduce inotify wakeups")
