inotify is not recursive. It's also best-effort and its notifications are asynchronous.
fanotify is better, but it also can drop events from time to time under high load.

You get an event when the queue overflows. If you clear the cache on receiving such an event, you can provide consistency guarantees, at the cost of bad performance while the cache is rebuilt. Since the queue is pretty big, overflows shouldn't happen too much.
