 /*
- * When, for whatever reason, inotify is done with a mark (or what used to be a
- * watch) we need to remove that watch from the idr and we need to send IN_IGNORED
- * for the given wd.
- *
- * There is a bit of recursion here.  The loop looks like:
- * 	inotify_destroy_mark_entry -> fsnotify_destroy_mark_by_entry ->
- *	inotify_freeing_mark -> inotify_destory_mark_entry -> restart
- * But the loop is broken in 2 places.  fsnotify_destroy_mark_by_entry sets
- * entry->group = NULL before the call to inotify_freeing_mark, so the if (egroup)
- * test below will not call back to fsnotify again.  But even if that test wasn't
- * there this would still be safe since fsnotify_destroy_mark_by_entry() is
- * safe from recursion.
+ * Send IN_IGNORED for this wd, remove this wd from the idr, and drop the
+ * internal reference help on the mark because it is in the idr.
