[fuse-devel] forget inodes

[Stef B. <st...@gm...>]

Hello,

I'm looking at the forget mechanism.

As fas as I understand the kernel VFS sends a forget signal, to forget
a number of lookups.

What is the idea? To remove the inode when the number of lookups is
zero (or less..)?

What is triggering the forget call: what's making the vfs "decide" to
send a forget call?
A certain period unused?
