Al explains that calling dentry_open() with a mnt/dentry pair is only garunteed to be safe if they are already used in an open struct file. To make sure this is the case don't store and use a struct path in fsnotify, always use a struct file. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

Rather than the horrific void ** argument and such just to pass the fanotify_merge event back to the caller of fsnotify_add_notify_event() have those things return an event if it was different than the event suggusted to be added. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

It can be hard to debug fsnotify since there are so few printks. Use pr_debug to allow for dynamic debugging. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

Currently fanotify fds opened for thier listeners are done with f_flags equal to O_RDONLY | O_LARGEFILE. This patch instead takes f_flags from the fanotify_init syscall and uses those when opening files in the context of the listener. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

The mask checks in inotify_update_existing_watch() and inotify_new_watch() are useless because inotify_arg_to_mask() sets FS_IN_IGNORED and FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD bits anyway. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

inotify uses bits called IN_* and fsnotify uses bits called FS_*. These need to line up. This patch adds build time checks to make sure noone can change these bits so they are not the same. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

An inotify watch on a directory will send events for children even if those children have been unlinked. This patch add a new inotify flag IN_EXCL_UNLINK which allows a watch to specificy they don't care about unlinked children. 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 writing to unlinked files they created in /tmp. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16296Requested-by: Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

akpm got a warning the fsnotify_mask could be used uninitialized in fsnotify_perm(). It's not actually possible but his compiler complained about it. This patch just initializes it to 0 to shut up the compiler. Reported-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

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) Reported-by: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

This is the backend work needed for fanotify to support the new FS_OPEN_PERM and FS_ACCESS_PERM fsnotify events. This is done using the new fsnotify secondary queue. No userspace interface is provided actually respond to or request these events. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

introduce a new fsnotify hook, fsnotify_perm(), which is called from the security code. This hook is used to allow fsnotify groups to make access control decisions about events on the system. We also must change the generic fsnotify function to return an error code if we intend these hooks to be in any way useful. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

fsnotify was using char * when it passed around the d_name.name string internally but it is actually an unsigned char *. This patch switches fsnotify to use unsigned and should silence some pointer signess warnings which have popped out of xfs. I do not add -Wpointer-sign to the fsnotify code as there are still issues with kstrdup and strlen which would pop out needless warnings. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

fanotify needs to know the actual event added to queues so it can be correctly checked for return values from userspace. To do this we need to pass that information from the merger code back to the main even handling routine. Currently that information is unused, but it will be.

Each group can define their own notification (and secondary_q) merge function. Inotify does tail drop, fanotify does matching and drop which can actually allocate a completely new event. But for fanotify to properly deal with permissions events it needs to know the new event which was 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.

fanotify listeners may want to clear all marks. They may want to do this to destroy all of their inode marks which have nothing but ignores. Realistically this is useful for av vendors who update policy and want to clear all of their cached allows. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

Some users may want to truely ignore an inode even if it has been modified. Say you are wanting a mount which contains a log file and you really don't want any notification about that file. This patch allows the listener to do that. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

On inode modification we clear the ignored mask for all of the marks on the inode. This allows userspace to ignore accesses to inodes until there is something different. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

Change the sys_fanotify_mark() system call so users can set ignored_masks on inodes. Remember, if a user new sets a real mask, and only sets ignored masks, the ignore will never be pinned in memory. Thus ignored_masks can be lost under memory pressure and the user may again get events they previously thought were ignored. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

The ignored_mask is a new mask which is part of fsnotify marks. A group's should_send_event() function can use the ignored mask to determine that certain events are not of interest. In particular if a group registers a mask including FS_OPEN on a vfsmount they could add FS_OPEN to the ignored_mask for individual inodes and not send open events for those inodes.

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.
