+Subject: [PATCH] fix possible server deadlock in ih_sub_cancel
+
+ih_sub_foreach() calls ih_sub_cancel() while inotify_lock is locked.
+However, ih_sub_cancel() locks it again, and locking GMutex recursively
+causes undefined behaviour.
+
+Fix that by removing locking from ih_sub_cancel() as ih_sub_foreach()
+is its only user. Also make the function static so that it won't
+accidentally get used by other files without locking (inotify-helper.h
+is an internal server header).
+
+This should fix the intermittent deadlocks I've been experiencing
+causing KDE applications to no longer start, and probably also
