      fanotify: fanotify_mark syscall implementation · 2a3edf86
      Eric Paris authored
      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.
      
      CONFORMING TO

      Eric Paris authored
      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.

      fanotify: do not clone on merge unless needed · 9dced01a
      Eric Paris authored
      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.

      Instead of just merging fanotify events if they are exactly the same, merge
      notification events with different masks.  To do this we have to clone the

      put the new event in place of the old event.

      fanotify:drop notification if they exist in the outgoing queue · 767cd46c
      Eric Paris authored
      fanotify listeners get an open file descriptor to the object in question so
      the ordering of operations is not as important as in other notification
      systems.  inotify will drop events if the last event in the event FIFO is
      the same as the current event.  This patch will drop fanotify events if
      they are the same as another event anywhere in the event FIFO.

      fanotify: fscking all notification system · ff0b16a9
      Eric Paris authored
      fanotify is a novel file notification system which bases notification on
      giving userspace both an event type (open, close, read, write) and an open
      file descriptor to the object in question.  This should address a number of
      races and problems with other notification systems like inotify and dnotify
      and should allow the future implementation of blocking or access controlled
      notification.  These are useful for on access scanners or hierachical storage
      management schemes.
      
      This patch just implements the basics of the fsnotify functions.

      vfs: introduce FMODE_NONOTIFY · ecf081d1
      Eric Paris authored
      This is a new f_mode which can only be set by the kernel.  It indicates
      that the fd was opened by fanotify and should not cause future fanotify
      events.  This is needed to prevent fanotify livelock.  An example of
      obvious livelock is from fanotify close events.
      
      Process A closes file1
      This creates a close event for file1.
      fanotify opens file1 for Listener X
      Listener X deals with the event and closes its fd for file1.
      This creates a close event for file1.
      fanotify opens file1 for Listener X
      Listener X deals with the event and closes its fd for file1.
      This creates a close event for file1.
      fanotify opens file1 for Listener X
      Listener X deals with the event and closes its fd for file1.
      notice a pattern?
      
      The fix is to add the FMODE_NONOTIFY bit to the open filp done by the kernel
      for fanotify.  Thus when that file is used it will not generate future
      events.
      
      This patch simply defines the bit.

      fsnotify: mount point listeners list and global mask · 7131485a
      Eric Paris authored
      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.

      For some parental notification we have the entire file, send that so
      fanotify can use it.

      fsnotify: pass a file instead of an inode to open, read, and write · 2a12a9d7
      Eric Paris authored
      fanotify, the upcoming notification system actually needs a struct path so it can
      do opens in the context of listeners, and it needs a file so it can get f_flags
      from the original process.  Close was the only operation that already was passing
      a struct file to the notification hook.  This patch passes a file for access,
      modify, and open as well as they are easily available to these hooks.

      fsnotify: include data in should_send calls · 8112e2d6
      Eric Paris authored
      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

      fsnotify: provide the data type to should_send_event · 7b0a04fb
      Eric Paris authored
      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.

      inotify: do not spam console without limit · d7f0ce4e
      Eric Paris authored
      inotify was supposed to have a dmesg printk ratelimitor which would cause
      inotify to only emit one message per boot.  The static bool was never set
      so it kept firing messages.  This patch correctly limits warnings in multiple
      places.
