fanotify_should_send_event has a test to see if an object is a file or
directory and does not send an event otherwise. The problem is that the
test is actually checking if the object with a mark is a file or directory,
not if the object the event happened on is a file or directory. We should
check the latter.

fanotify currently has no limit on the number of listeners a given user can
have open. This patch limits the total number of listeners per user to
128. This is the same as the inotify default limit.
Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
Some fanotify groups, especially those like AV scanners, will need to place
lots of marks, particularly ignore marks. Since ignore marks do not pin
inodes in cache and are cleared if the inode is removed from core (usually
under memory pressure) we expose an interface for listeners, with
CAP_SYS_ADMIN, to override the maximum number of marks and be allowed to
set and 'unlimited' number of marks. Programs which make use of this
feature will be able to OOM a machine.

There is currently no limit on the number of marks a given fanotify group
can have. Since fanotify is gated on CAP_SYS_ADMIN this was not seen as
a serious DoS threat. This patch implements a default of 8192, the same as
inotify to work towards removing the CAP_SYS_ADMIN gating and eliminating
the default DoS'able status.

fanotify has a defualt max queue depth. This patch allows processes which
explicitly request it to have an 'unlimited' queue depth. These processes
need to be very careful to make sure they cannot fall far enough behind
that they OOM the box. Thus this flag is gated on CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
Currently fanotify has no maximum queue depth. Since fanotify is
CAP_SYS_ADMIN only this does not pose a normal user DoS issue, but it
certianly is possible that an fanotify listener which can't keep up could
OOM the box. This patch implements a default 16k depth. This is the same
default depth used by inotify, but given fanotify's better queue merging in
many situations this queue will contain many additional useful events by
comparison.

fanotify will clear ignore marks if a task changes the contents of an
inode. The problem is with the races around when userspace finishes
checking a file and when that result is actually attached to the inode.
This race was described as such:
Consider the following scenario with hostile processes A and B, and
victim process C:
1. Process A opens new file for writing. File check request is generated.
2. File check is performed in userspace. Check result is "file has no malware".
3. The "permit" response is delivered to kernel space.
4. File ignored mark set.
5. Process A writes dummy bytes to the file. File ignored flags are cleared.
6. Process B opens the same file for reading. File check request is generated.
7. File check is performed in userspace. Check result is "file has no malware".
8. Process A writes malware bytes to the file. There is no cached response yet.
9. The "permit" response is delivered to kernel space and is cached in fanotify.
10. File ignored mark set.
11. Now any process C will be permitted to open the malware file.
There is a race between steps 8 and 10
While fanotify makes no strong guarantees about systems with hostile
processes there is no reason we cannot harden against this race. We do
that by simply ignoring any ignore marks if the inode has open writers (aka
i_writecount > 0). (We actually do not ignore ignore marks if the
FAN_MARK_SURV_MODIFY flag is set)

The fanotify listeners needs to be able to specify what types of operations
they are going to perform so they can be ordered appropriately between other
listeners doing other types of operations. They need this to be able to make
sure that things like hierarchichal storage managers will get access to inodes
before processes which need the data. This patch defines 3 possible uses
which groups must indicate in the fanotify_init() flags.
FAN_CLASS_PRE_CONTENT
FAN_CLASS_CONTENT
FAN_CLASS_NOTIF
Groups will receive notification in that order. The order between 2 groups in
the same class is undeterministic.
FAN_CLASS_PRE_CONTENT is intended to be used by listeners which need access to
the inode before they are certain that the inode contains it's final data. A
hierarchical storage manager should choose to use this class.
FAN_CLASS_CONTENT is intended to be used by listeners which need access to the
inode after it contains its intended contents. This would be the appropriate
level for an AV solution or document control system.
FAN_CLASS_NOTIF is intended for normal async notification about access, much the
same as inotify and dnotify. Syncronous permissions events are not permitted
at this class.

fanotify needs to be able to specify that some groups get events before

* 'llseek' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/bkl:

lkdtm: use generic_file_llseek in debugfs
net/wireless: use generic_file_llseek in debugfs
drm: use noop_llseek
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.
The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.
The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

This patch disables the fanotify syscalls by just not building them and
letting the cond_syscall() statements in kernel/sys_ni.c redirect them
to sys_ni_syscall().
It was pointed out by Tvrtko Ursulin that the fanotify interface did not
include an explicit prioritization between groups. This is necessary
for fanotify to be usable for hierarchical storage management software,
as they must get first access to the file, before inotify-like notifiers
see the file.
This feature can be added in an ABI compatible way in the next release
(by using a number of bits in the flags field to carry the info) but it
was suggested by Alan that maybe we should just hold off and do it in
the next cycle, likely with an (new) explicit argument to the syscall.
I don't like this approach best as I know people are already starting to
use the current interface, but Alan is all wise and noone on list backed
me up with just using what we have. I feel this is needlessly ripping
the rug out from under people at the last minute, but if others think it
needs to be a new argument it might be the best way forward.
Three choices:
Go with what we got (and implement the new feature next cycle). Add a
new field right now (and implement the new feature next cycle). Wait
till next cycle to release the ABI (and implement the new feature next
cycle). This is number 3.

Marks were stored on the inode and vfsmonut mark list in order from
highest memory address to lowest memory address. The code to walk those

unpredictable results when trying to match up marks from each. It was
possible that extra events would be sent to userspace when inode
marks ignoring events wouldn't get matched with the vfsmount marks.

When an fanotify listener is closing it may cause a deadlock between the
listener and the original task doing an fs operation. If the original task
is waiting for a permissions response it will be holding the srcu lock. The
listener cannot clean up and exit until after that srcu lock is syncronized.
Thus deadlock. The fix introduced here is to stop accepting new permissions
events when a listener is shutting down and to grant permission for all
outstanding events. Thus the original task will eventually release the srcu
lock and the listener can complete shutdown.

The interesting 2 list lockstep walking didn't quite work out if the inode
marks only had ignores and the vfsmount list requested events. The code to
shortcut list traversal would not run the inode list since it didn't have real
event requests. This code forces inode list traversal when a vfsmount mark
matches the event type. Maybe we could add an i_fsnotify_ignored_mask field
to struct inode to get the shortcut back, but it doesn't seem worth it to grow
struct inode again.
I bet with the recent changes to lock the way we do now it would actually not
be a major perf hit to just drop i_fsnotify_mark_mask altogether. But that is
for another day.

The fsnotify main loop has 2 booleans which tell if a particular mark was

equivalent to I_FREEING for almost all code looking at either;
it's there to keep track of having called clear_inode() exactly
once per inode lifetime, at some point after having set I_FREEING.
I_CLEAR and I_FREEING never get set at the same time with the

fanotify almost works like so:
user context calls fsnotify_* function with a struct file.
fsnotify takes a reference on the struct path
user context goes about it's buissiness
at some later point in time the fsnotify listener gets the struct path
fanotify listener calls dentry_open() to create a file which userspace can deal with
listener drops the reference on the struct path
at some later point the listener calls close() on it's new file
With the switch from struct path to struct file this presents a problem for
fput() and fsnotify_close(). fsnotify_close() is called when the filp has
already reached 0 and __fput() wants to do it's cleanup.
The solution presented here is a bit odd. If an event is created from a
struct file we take a reference on the file. We check however if the f_count
was already 0 and if so we take an EXTRA reference EVEN THOUGH IT WAS ZERO.
In __fput() (where we know the f_count hit 0 once) we check if the f_count is
non-zero and if so we drop that 'extra' ref and return without destroying the
file.

An inotify watch on a directory will send events for children even if those

This should fix performance problems seen by tasks which add a watch to
/tmp and then are overrun with events when other processes are reading and

fsnotify takes an igrab on an inode when it adds a mark. The code was
supposed to drop the reference when the mark was removed but didn't.
This caused problems when an fs was unmounted because those inodes would
clearly not be gone. Thus resulting in the most devistating of messages:
VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of loop0. Self-destruct in 5 seconds.
>>> Have a nice day...
Jiri Slaby bisected the problem to a patch in the fsnotify tree. The
code snippets below show my stupidity quite clearly.
void fsnotify_destroy_inode_mark(struct fsnotify_mark *mark)
{
...
mark->inode = NULL;
...
}
void fsnotify_destroy_mark(struct fsnotify_mark *mark)
{
struct inode *inode = NULL;
...
if (mark->flags & FSNOTIFY_MARK_FLAG_INODE) {
fsnotify_destroy_inode_mark(mark);
inode = mark->i.inode;
}
...
if (inode)
iput(inode);
...
}
Obviously the intent was to capture the inode before it was set to NULL in
fsnotify_destory_inode_mark() so we wouldn't be leaking inodes forever.
Instead we leaked them (and exploded on umount)

Each group can define their own notification (and secondary_q) merge

ultimately added to the notification queue. This patch just implements a
void ** argument which is passed to the merge function. fanotify can use
this field to pass the new event back to higher layers.

This introduces an ordering to fsnotify groups. With purely asynchronous
notification based "things" implementing fsnotify (inotify, dnotify) ordering
isn't particularly important. But if people want to use fsnotify for the
basis of sycronous notification or blocking notification ordering becomes
important.
eg. A Hierarchical Storage Management listener would need to get its event
before an AV scanner could get its event (since the HSM would need to
bring the data in for the AV scanner to scan.) Typically asynchronous notification
would want to run after the AV scanner made any relevant access decisions
so as to not send notification about an event that was denied.

inotify marks must pin inodes in core. dnotify doesn't technically need to
since they are closed when the directory is closed. fanotify also need to
pin inodes in core as it works today. But the next step is to introduce
the concept of 'ignored masks' which is actually a mask of events for an
inode of no interest. I claim that these should be liberally sent to the
kernel and should not pin the inode in core. If the inode is brought back
in the listener will get an event it may have thought excluded, but this is
not a serious situation and one any listener should deal with.
This patch lays the ground work for non-pinning inode marks by using lazy
inode pinning. We do not pin a mark until it has a non-zero mask entry. If a
listener new sets a mask we never pin the inode.

NAME
fanotify_mark - add, remove, or modify an fanotify mark on a
filesystem object
SYNOPSIS
int fanotify_mark(int fanotify_fd, unsigned int flags, u64 mask,
int dfd, const char *pathname)
DESCRIPTION
fanotify_mark() is used to add remove or modify a mark on a filesystem
object. Marks are used to indicate that the fanotify group is
interested in events which occur on that object. At this point in
time marks may only be added to files and directories.
fanotify_fd must be a file descriptor returned by fanotify_init()
The flags field must contain exactly one of the following:
FAN_MARK_ADD - or the bits in mask and ignored mask into the mark
FAN_MARK_REMOVE - bitwise remove the bits in mask and ignored mark
from the mark
The following values can be OR'd into the flags field:
FAN_MARK_DONT_FOLLOW - same meaning as O_NOFOLLOW as described in open(2)
FAN_MARK_ONLYDIR - same meaning as O_DIRECTORY as described in open(2)
dfd may be any of the following:
AT_FDCWD: the object will be lookup up based on pathname similar
to open(2)
file descriptor of a directory: if pathname is not NULL the
object to modify will be lookup up similar to openat(2)
file descriptor of the final object: if pathname is NULL the
object to modify will be the object referenced by dfd
The mask is the bitwise OR of the set of events of interest such as:
FAN_ACCESS - object was accessed (read)
FAN_MODIFY - object was modified (write)
FAN_CLOSE_WRITE - object was writable and was closed
FAN_CLOSE_NOWRITE - object was read only and was closed
FAN_OPEN - object was opened
FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD - interested in objected that happen to
children. Only relavent when the object
is a directory
FAN_Q_OVERFLOW - event queue overflowed (not implemented)
RETURN VALUE
On success, this system call returns 0. On error, -1 is
returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
EINVAL An invalid value was specified in flags.
EINVAL An invalid value was specified in mask.
EINVAL An invalid value was specified in ignored_mask.
EINVAL fanotify_fd is not a file descriptor as returned by
fanotify_init()
EBADF fanotify_fd is not a valid file descriptor
EBADF dfd is not a valid file descriptor and path is NULL.
ENOTDIR dfd is not a directory and path is not NULL
EACCESS no search permissions on some part of the path
ENENT file not found
ENOMEM Insufficient kernel memory is available.

NAME
fanotify_init - initialize an fanotify group
SYNOPSIS
int fanotify_init(unsigned int flags, unsigned int event_f_flags, int priority);
DESCRIPTION
fanotify_init() initializes a new fanotify instance and returns a file
descriptor associated with the new fanotify event queue.
The following values can be OR'd into the flags field:
FAN_NONBLOCK Set the O_NONBLOCK file status flag on the new open file description.
Using this flag saves extra calls to fcntl(2) to achieve the same
result.
FAN_CLOEXEC Set the close-on-exec (FD_CLOEXEC) flag on the new file descriptor.
See the description of the O_CLOEXEC flag in open(2) for reasons why
this may be useful.
The event_f_flags argument is unused and must be set to 0
The priority argument is unused and must be set to 0
RETURN VALUE
On success, this system call return a new file descriptor. On error, -1 is
returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
EINVAL An invalid value was specified in flags.
EINVAL A non-zero valid was passed in event_f_flags or in priority
ENFILE The system limit on the total number of file descriptors has been reached.
ENOMEM Insufficient kernel memory is available.
CONFORMING TO

Currently if 2 events are going to be merged on the notication queue with
different masks the second event will be cloned and will replace the first
event. However if this notification queue is the only place referencing
the event in question there is no reason not to just update the event in
place. We can tell this if the event->refcnt == 1. Since we hold a
reference for each queue this event is on we know that when refcnt == 1
this is the only queue. The other concern is that it might be about to be
added to a new queue, but this can't be the case since fsnotify holds a
reference on the event until it is finished adding it to queues.

fanotify is a novel file notification system which bases notification on
giving userspace both an event type (open, close, read, write) and an open

currently all of the notification systems implemented select which inodes
they care about and receive messages only about those inodes (or the
children of those inodes.) This patch begins to flesh out fsnotify support
for the concept of listeners that want to hear notification for an inode
accessed below a given monut point. This patch implements a second list
of fsnotify groups to hold these types of groups and a second global mask
to hold the events of interest for this type of group.
The reason we want a second group list and mask is because the inode based
notification should_send_event support which makes each group look for a mark
on the given inode. With one nfsmount listener that means that every group would
have to take the inode->i_lock, look for their mark, not find one, and return
for every operation. By seperating vfsmount from inode listeners only when
there is a inode listener will the inode groups have to look for their
mark and take the inode lock. vfsmount listeners will have to grab the lock and
look for a mark but there should be fewer of them, and one vfsmount listener
won't cause the i_lock to be grabbed and released for every fsnotify group
on every io operation.

means of bitwise OR masks of multiple events together. This patch moves
the inotify event merging logic out of the generic fsnotify notification.c
and into the inotify code. This allows each use of fsnotify to provide
their own merge functionality.

fanotify needs a path in order to open an fd to the object which changed.
Currently notifications to inode's parents are done using only the inode.
For some parental notification we have the entire file, send that so

fanotify is going to need to look at file->private_data to know if an event
should be sent or not. This passes the data (which might be a file,
dentry, inode, or none) to the should_send function calls so fanotify can
get that information when available
Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
fanotify is only interested in event types which contain enough information
to open the original file in the context of the fanotify listener. Since
fanotify may not want to send events if that data isn't present we pass
the data type to the should_send_event function call so fanotify can express
its lack of interest.

Currently fsnotify defines a static fsnotify event which is sent when a

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Since commit 7e790dd5fc ("inotify: fix
error paths in inotify_update_watch") inotify changed the manor in which
it gave watch descriptors back to userspace. Previous to this commit
inotify acted like the following:
inotify_add_watch(X, Y, Z) = 1
inotify_rm_watch(X, 1);
inotify_add_watch(X, Y, Z) = 2
but after this patch inotify would return watch descriptors like so:
inotify_add_watch(X, Y, Z) = 1
inotify_rm_watch(X, 1);
inotify_add_watch(X, Y, Z) = 1
which I saw as equivalent to opening an fd where
open(file) = 1;
close(1);
open(file) = 1;
seemed perfectly reasonable. The issue is that quite a bit of userspace
apparently relies on the behavior in which watch descriptors will not be
quickly reused. KDE relies on it, I know some selinux packages rely on
it, and I have heard complaints from other random sources such as debian
bug 558981.
Although the man page implies what we do is ok, we broke userspace so
this patch almost reverts us to the old behavior. It is still slightly
racey and I have patches that would fix that, but they are rather large
and this will fix it for all real world cases. The race is as follows:
- task1 creates a watch and blocks in idr_new_watch() before it updates
the hint.
- task2 creates a watch and updates the hint.
- task1 updates the hint with it's older wd
- task removes the watch created by task2
- task adds a new watch and will reuse the wd originally given to task2
it requires moving some locking around the hint (last_wd) but this should
solve it for the real world and be -stable safe.
As a side effect this patch papers over a bug in the lib/idr code which
is causing a large number WARN's to pop on people's system and many
reports in kerneloops.org. I'm working on the root cause of that idr
bug seperately but this should make inotify immune to that issue.

fsnotify_add_mark is supposed to add a mark to the g_list and i_list and to
set the group and inode for the mark. fsnotify_destroy_mark_by_entry uses
the fact that ->group != NULL to know if this group should be destroyed or
if it's already been done.
But fsnotify_add_mark sets the group and inode before it actually adds the
mark to the i_list and g_list. This can result in a race in inotify, it
requires 3 threads.
sys_inotify_add_watch("file") sys_inotify_add_watch("file") sys_inotify_rm_watch([a])
inotify_update_watch()
inotify_new_watch()
inotify_add_to_idr()
^--- returns wd = [a]
inotfiy_update_watch()
inotify_new_watch()
inotify_add_to_idr()
fsnotify_add_mark()
^--- returns wd = [b]
returns to userspace;
inotify_idr_find([a])
^--- gives us the pointer from task 1
fsnotify_add_mark()
^--- this is going to set the mark->group and mark->inode fields, but will
return -EEXIST because of the race with [b].
fsnotify_destroy_mark()
^--- since ->group != NULL we call back
into inotify_freeing_mark() which calls
inotify_remove_from_idr([a])
since fsnotify_add_mark() failed we call:
inotify_remove_from_idr([a]) <------WHOOPS it's not in the idr, this could
have been any entry added later!
The fix is to make sure we don't set mark->group until we are sure the mark is
on the inode and fsnotify_add_mark will return success.

So add one byte to name_size before we round up and use clear_user to

fsnotify drops new events when they are the same as the tail event on the
queue to be sent to userspace. The problem is that if the event comes with
a path we forget to break out of the switch statement and fall into the
code path which matches on events that do not have any type of file backed
information (things like IN_UNMOUNT and IN_Q_OVERFLOW). The problem is
that this code thinks all such events should be dropped. Fix is to add a
break.

inotify drops events if the last event on the queue is the same as the
current event. But it does 2 things wrong. First it is comparing old->inode
with new->inode. But after an event if put on the queue the ->inode is no
longer allowed to be used. It's possible between the last event and this new
event the inode could be reused and we would falsely match the inode's memory
address between two differing events.
The second problem is that when a file is removed fsnotify is passed the
negative dentry for the removed object rather than the postive dentry from
immediately before the removal. This mean the (broken) inotify tail drop code
was matching the NULL ->inode of differing events.
The fix is to check the file name which is stored with events when doing the
tail drop instead of wrongly checking the address of the stored ->inode.

inotify_add_watch had a couple of problems. The biggest being that if

event mask) a refence was taken on the original inode mark by
fsnotify_find_mark_entry but was not being dropped at the end of the
inotify_add_watch call. Thus if inotify_rm_watch was called although the mark
was removed from the inode, the refcnt wouldn't hit zero and we would leak
memory.

inotify_destroy_mark_entry could get called twice for the same mark since it
is called directly in inotify_rm_watch and when the mark is being destroyed for
another reason. As an example assume that the file being watched was just
deleted so inotify_destroy_mark_entry would get called from the path
fsnotify_inoderemove() -> fsnotify_destroy_marks_by_inode() ->
fsnotify_destroy_mark_entry() -> inotify_destroy_mark_entry(). If this
happened at the same time as userspace tried to remove a watch via
inotify_rm_watch we could attempt to remove the mark from the idr twice and
could thus double dec the ref cnt and potentially could be in a use after
free/double free situation. The fix is to have inotify_rm_watch use the
generic recursive safe fsnotify_destroy_mark_by_entry() so we are sure the
inotify_destroy_mark_entry() function can only be called one.
This patch also renames the function to inotify_ingored_remove_idr() so it is
clear what is actually going on in the function.

if inotify or dnotify is interested in a given event.

entry->lock is needed to make sure entry->mask does not change while
manipulating it. In dnotify_should_send_event() we don't care if we get an
old or a new mask value out of this entry so there is no point it taking
the lock.

dnotify_should send event assigned a bool using ?true:false when computing
a bit operation. This is poitless and the bool type does this for us.

Reimplement inotify_user using fsnotify. This should be feature for feature
exactly the same as the original inotify_user. This does not make any changes
to the in kernel inotify feature used by audit. Those patches (and the eventual
removal of in kernel inotify) will come after the new inotify_user proves to be
working correctly.

When an fs is unmounted with an fsnotify mark entry attached to one of its
inodes we need to destroy that mark entry and we also (like inotify) send
an unmount event.

This patch pins any inodes with an fsnotify mark in core. The idea is that
as soon as the mark is removed from the inode->fsnotify_mark_entries list
the inode will be iput. In reality is doesn't quite work exactly this way.
The igrab will happen when the mark is added to an inode, but the iput will
happen when the inode pointer is NULL'd inside the mark.
It's possible that 2 racing things will try to remove the mark from
different directions. One may try to remove the mark because of an
explicit request and one might try to remove it because the inode was
deleted. It's possible that the removal because of inode deletion will
remove the mark from the inode's list, but the removal by explicit request
will actually set entry->inode == NULL; and call the iput. This is safe.

inotify needs per group information attached to events. This patch allows
groups to attach private information and implements a callback so that

As part of the standard inotify events it includes a correlation cookie
between two dentry move operations. This patch includes the same behaviour
in fsnotify events. It is needed so that inotify userspace can be
implemented on top of fsnotify.

inotify needs to do asyc notification in which event information is stored
on a queue until the listener is ready to receive it. This patch
implements a generic notification queue for inotify (and later fanotify) to
store events to be sent at a later time.

inotify and dnotify both use a similar parent notification mechanism. We

This patch creates a way for fsnotify groups to attach marks to inodes.
These marks have little meaning to the generic fsnotify infrastructure
and thus their meaning should be interpreted by the group that attached
them to the inode's list.
dnotify and inotify will make use of these markings to indicate which
inodes are of interest to their respective groups. But this implementation
has the useful property that in the future other listeners could actually
use the marks for the exact opposite reason, aka to indicate which inodes
it had NO interest in.

fsnotify is a backend for filesystem notification. fsnotify does
not provide any userspace interface but does provide the basis
needed for other notification schemes such as dnotify. fsnotify
can be extended to be the backend for inotify or the upcoming
fanotify. fsnotify provides a mechanism for "groups" to register for
some set of filesystem events and to then deliver those events to
those groups for processing.
fsnotify has a number of benefits, the first being actually shrinking the size
of an inode. Before fsnotify to support both dnotify and inotify an inode had
unsigned long i_dnotify_mask; /* Directory notify events */
struct dnotify_struct *i_dnotify; /* for directory notifications */
struct list_head inotify_watches; /* watches on this inode */
struct mutex inotify_mutex; /* protects the watches list
But with fsnotify this same functionallity (and more) is done with just
__u32 i_fsnotify_mask; /* all events for this inode */
struct hlist_head i_fsnotify_mark_entries; /* marks on this inode */
That's right, inotify, dnotify, and fanotify all in 64 bits. We used that
much space just in inotify_watches alone, before this patch set.
fsnotify object lifetime and locking is MUCH better than what we have today.
inotify locking is incredibly complex. See 8f7b0ba1c8 as an example of
what's been busted since inception. inotify needs to know internal semantics
of superblock destruction and unmounting to function. The inode pinning and
vfs contortions are horrible.
no fsnotify implementers do allocation under locks. This means things like
f04b30de3 which (due to an overabundance of caution) changes GFP_KERNEL to
GFP_NOFS can be reverted. There are no longer any allocation rules when using
or implementing your own fsnotify listener.
fsnotify paves the way for fanotify. In brief fanotify is a notification
mechanism that delivers the lisener both an 'event' and an open file descriptor
to the object in question. This means that fanotify is pathname agnostic.
Some on lkml may not care for the original companies or users that pushed for
TALPA, but fanotify was designed with flexibility and input for other users in
mind. The readahead group expressed interest in fanotify as it could be used
to profile disk access on boot without breaking the audit system. The desktop
search groups have also expressed interest in fanotify as it solves a number
of the race conditions and problems present with managing inotify when more
than a limited number of specific files are of interest. fanotify can provide
for a userspace access control system which makes it a clean interface for AV
vendors to hook without trying to do binary patching on the syscall table,
LSM, and everywhere else they do their things today. With this patch series
fanotify can be implemented in less than 1200 lines of easy to review code.
Almost all of which is the socket based user interface.
This patch series builds fsnotify to the point that it can implement
dnotify and inotify_user. Patches exist and will be sent soon after
acceptance to finish the in kernel inotify conversion (audit) and implement
fanotify.

There is what we believe to be a false positive reported by lockdep.
inotify_inode_queue_event() => take inotify_mutex => kernel_event() =>
kmalloc() => SLOB => alloc_pages_node() => page reclaim => slab reclaim =>
dcache reclaim => inotify_inode_is_dead => take inotify_mutex => deadlock
The plan is to fix this via lockdep annotation, but that is proving to be
quite involved.
The patch flips the allocation over to GFP_NFS to shut the warning up, for
the 2.6.30 release.
Hopefully we will fix this for real in 2.6.31. I'll queue a patch in -mm
to switch it back to GFP_KERNEL so we don't forget.

To be on the safe side, it should be less fragile to exclude I_NEW inodes
from inode list scans by default (unless there is an important reason to
have them).
Normally they will get excluded (eg. by zero refcount or writecount etc),
however it is a bit fragile for list walkers to know exactly what parts of
the inode state is set up and valid to test when in I_NEW. So along these
lines, move I_NEW checks upward as well (sometimes taking I_FREEING etc
checks with them too -- this shouldn't be a problem should it?)
