Expected Behaviour

Using lua-language-server shouldn't consume all available inotify resources.

Actual Behaviour

After opening a project no other application can use inotify, because recursive inotify can try watching too many files (over 125,000 in my case, but depends on the limit).

Reproduction steps

1. Create a dummy config file (return {}) and place it somewhere with many files (e.g. in home directory).
2. Specify path to that config via --configpath like in --configpath=$HOME/lsp.lua.
3. Open some workspace with that configuration (using lsp.vim in Vim9 here, but client shouldn't matter).
4. Try using inotifywait some/file and observe Failed to watch some/file; upper limit on inotify watches reached!, which shouldn't happen.

Additional Notes

Watch probably shouldn't be recursive when used in https://github.com/sumneko/lua-language-server/blob/d33debdaa7d8748beef0e0365f0314222006058e/script/provider/provider.lua#L34

Reproduisez l’épuisement en utilisant la dummy config, un workspace contenant de nombreux fichiers et inotifywait, comme décrit. Inspectez ensuite script/provider/provider.lua autour de la ligne 34, où le comportement de watch est identifié. C’est terminé lorsque l’ouverture du workspace ne consomme plus tous les inotify watches disponibles, tandis que le language server continue de gérer le workspace configuré.
