Eric Paris b31d397e43 fsnotify: call iput on inodes when no longer marked
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)

Eric Paris 6e5f77b32e fsnotify: intoduce a notification merge argument
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.

Eric Paris cb2d429faf fsnotify: add group priorities
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.

Change the sys_fanotify_mark() system call so users can set ignored_masks

Eric Paris 33af5e32e0 fsnotify: ignored_mask - excluding notification
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.

Eric Paris 90b1e7a578 fsnotify: allow marks to not pin inodes in core
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.

Heiko Carstens 9bbfc964b8 fanotify: CONFIG_HAVE_SYSCALL_WRAPPERS for sys_fanotify_mark
Please note that you need the patch below in addition, otherwise the
syscall wrapper stuff won't work on those 32 bit architectures which enable
the wrappers.

When enabled the syscall wrapper defines always take long parameters and then
cast them to whatever is needed. This approach doesn't work for the 32 bit
case where the original syscall takes a long long parameter, since we would
lose the upper 32 bits.
So syscalls with 64 bit arguments are special cases wrt to syscall wrappers
and enp up in the ugliness below (see also sys_fallocate). In addition these
special cased syscall wrappers have the drawback that ftrace syscall tracing
doesn't work on them, since they don't get defined by using the usual macros.

Eric Paris 2a3edf8604 fanotify: fanotify_mark syscall implementation
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

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.

Eric Paris 9dced01a09 fanotify: do not clone on merge unless needed
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.

Eric Paris a12a7dd328 fanotify: merge notification events with different masks
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
old event, update the mask in the new event with the new merged mask, and
put the new event in place of the old event.

Eric Paris 767cd46c33 fanotify:drop notification if they exist in the outgoing queue
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.

Eric Paris ff0b16a985 fanotify: fscking all notification system
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.

Andreas Gruenbacher 3556608709 fsnotify: take inode->i_lock inside fsnotify_find_mark_entry()
All callers to fsnotify_find_mark_entry() except one take and
release inode->i_lock around the call.  Take the lock inside
fsnotify_find_mark_entry() instead.
