the _entry portion of fsnotify functions is useless. Drop it. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

The name is long and it serves no real purpose. So rename fsnotify_mark_entry to just fsnotify_mark. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

Some fsnotify operations send a struct file. This is more information than we technically need. We instead send a struct path in all cases instead of sometimes a path and sometimes a file. Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

To differentiate between inode and vfsmount (or other future) types of marks we add a flags field and set the inode bit on inode marks (the only currently supported type of mark) Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

Eric Paris authored
vfsmount marks need mostly the same data as inode specific fields, but for consistency and understandability we put that data in a vfsmount specific struct inside a union with inode specific data. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

The addition of marks on vfs mounts will be simplified if the inode specific parts of a mark and the vfsmnt specific parts of a mark are actually in a union so naming can be easy. This patch just implements the inode struct and the union. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

To ensure that a group will not duplicate events when it receives it based on the vfsmount and the inode should_send_event test we should distinguish those two cases. We pass a vfsmount to this function so groups can make their own determinations. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

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.

Currently all fsnotify groups are added immediately to the fsnotify_inode_groups list upon creation. This means, even groups with no watches (common for audit) will be on the global tracking list and will get checked for every event. This patch adds groups to the global list on when the first inode mark is added to the group. Signed-of-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

Currently the comments say that group->num_marks is held because the group is on the fsnotify_group list. This isn't strictly the case, we really just hold the num_marks for the life of the group (any time group->refcnt is != 0) This patch moves the initialization stuff and makes it clear when it is really being held.

Simple renaming patch. fsnotify is about to support mount point listeners so I am renaming fsnotify_groups and fsnotify_mask to indicate these are lists used only for groups which have watches on inodes. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

Nothing uses the mask argument to fsnotify_alloc_group. This patch drops that argument. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

Eric Paris authored
Currently the audit watch group always sets a mask equal to all events it might care about. We instead should only set the group mask if we are actually watching inodes. This should be a perf win when audit watches are compiled in. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

fsnotify_obtain_group was intended to be able to find an already existing group. Nothing uses that functionality. This just renames it to fsnotify_alloc_group so it is clear what it is doing. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

fsnotify_obtain_group uses kzalloc but then proceedes to set things to 0. This patch just deletes those useless lines. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

Eric Paris authored
The original fsnotify interface has a group-num which was intended to be able to find a group after it was added. I no longer think this is a necessary thing to do and so we remove the group_num. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

fsnotify_replace_event need to lock both the old and the new event. This causes lockdep to get all pissed off since it dosn't know this is safe. It's safe in this case since the new event is impossible to be reached from other places in the kernel. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

fanotify would like to clone events already on its notification list, make changes to the new event, and then replace the old event on the list with the new event. This patch implements the replace functionality of that process. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
-
Eric Paris authored
fsnotify_clone_event will take an event, clone it, and return the cloned event to the caller. Since events may be in use by multiple fsnotify groups simultaneously certain event entries (such as the mask) cannot be changed after the event was created. Since fanotify would like to merge events happening on the same file it needs a new clean event to work with so it can change any fields it wishes. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

inotify only wishes to merge a new event with the last event on the notification fifo. fanotify is willing to merge any events including by 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 can use it. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

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. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

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 Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
-
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 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. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

Prior to 2.6.31 inotify would not reuse watch descriptors until all of them had been used at least once. After the rewrite inotify would reuse watch descriptors. The selinux utility 'restorecond' was found to have problems when watch descriptors were reused. This patch reverts to the pre inotify rewrite behavior to not reuse watch descriptors.

fsnotify event initialization is done entry by entry with almost everything set to either 0 or NULL. Use kmem_cache_zalloc and only initialize things that need non-zero initialization. Also means we don't have to change initialization entries based on the config options. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

Use kzalloc for fsnotify_groups so that none of the fields can leak any information accidentally. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

inotify_free_mark casts directly from an fsnotify_mark_entry to an inotify_inode_mark_entry. This works, but should use container_of instead for future proofing. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

Currently fsnotify defines a static fsnotify event which is sent when a group overflows its allotted queue length. This patch just allocates that event from the event cache rather than defining it statically. There is no known reason that the current implementation is wrong, but this makes sure the event is initialized and created like any other. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

Audit watch init and fsnotify init both use subsys_initcall() but since the audit watch code is linked in before the fsnotify code the audit watch code would be using the fsnotify srcu struct before it was initialized. This patch fixes that problem by moving audit watch init to device_initcall() so it happens after fsnotify is ready.

Audit watch should depend on CONFIG_AUDIT_SYSCALL and should select FSNOTIFY. This splits the spagetti like mixing of audit_watch and audit_filter code so they can be configured seperately. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

This patch allows a task to add a second fsnotify mark to an inode for the same group. This mark will be added to the end of the inode's list and this will never be found by the stand fsnotify_find_mark() function. This is useful if a user wants to add a new mark before removing the old one. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

deleting audit watch rules is not currently done under audit_filter_mutex. It was done this way because we could not hold the mutex during inotify manipulation. Since we are using fsnotify we don't need to do the extra get/put pair nor do we need the private list on which to store the parents while they are about to be freed.

fsnotify can handle mutexes to be held across all fsnotify operations since it deals strickly in spinlocks. This can simplify and reduce some of the audit_filter_mutex taking and dropping. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

Audit currently uses inotify to pin inodes in core and to detect when watched inodes are deleted or unmounted. This patch uses fsnotify instead of inotify. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
