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.

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
information can be freed when an event is being destroyed.

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

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?)

If userspace supplies an invalid pointer to a read() of an inotify
instance, the inotify device's event list mutex is unlocked twice.
This causes an unbalance which effectively leaves the data structure
unprotected, and we can trigger oopses by accessing the inotify
instance from different tasks concurrently.
The best fix (contributed largely by Linus) is a total rewrite
of the function in question:

The problems lie in the types used for some inotify interfaces, both at the kernel level and at the glibc level. This mail addresses the kernel problem. I will follow up with some suggestions for glibc changes.
For the sys_inotify_rm_watch() interface, the type of the 'wd' argument is
currently 'u32', it should be '__s32' . That is Robert's suggestion, and
is consistent with the other declarations of watch descriptors in the
kernel source, in particular, the inotify_event structure in
include/linux/inotify.h:
struct inotify_event {
__s32 wd; /* watch descriptor */
__u32 mask; /* watch mask */
__u32 cookie; /* cookie to synchronize two events */
__u32 len; /* length (including nulls) of name */
char name[0]; /* stub for possible name */
};
The patch makes the changes needed for inotify_rm_watch().

Creating a generic filesystem notification interface, fsnotify, which will be
used by inotify, dnotify, and eventually fanotify is really starting to
clutter the fs directory. This patch simply moves inotify and dnotify into
fs/notify/inotify and fs/notify/dnotify respectively to make both current fs/
and future notification tidier.
