The fsnotify main loop has 2 bools which indicated if we processed the
inode or vfsmount mark in that particular pass through the loop. These
bool can we replaced with the inode_group and vfsmount_group variables
and actually make the code a little easier to understand.

Marks were stored on the inode and vfsmonut mark list in order from
highest memory address to lowest memory address. The code to walk those
lists thought they were in order from lowest to highest with
unpredictable results when trying to match up marks from each. It was
possible that extra events would be sent to userspace when inode
marks ignoring events wouldn't get matched with the vfsmount marks.
This problem only affected fanotify when using both vfsmount and inode
marks simultaneously.

When an fanotify listener is closing it may cause a deadlock between the
listener and the original task doing an fs operation. If the original task
is waiting for a permissions response it will be holding the srcu lock. The
listener cannot clean up and exit until after that srcu lock is syncronized.
Thus deadlock. The fix introduced here is to stop accepting new permissions
events when a listener is shutting down and to grant permission for all
outstanding events. Thus the original task will eventually release the srcu
lock and the listener can complete shutdown.

The interesting 2 list lockstep walking didn't quite work out if the inode
marks only had ignores and the vfsmount list requested events. The code to
shortcut list traversal would not run the inode list since it didn't have real
event requests. This code forces inode list traversal when a vfsmount mark
matches the event type. Maybe we could add an i_fsnotify_ignored_mask field
to struct inode to get the shortcut back, but it doesn't seem worth it to grow
struct inode again.
I bet with the recent changes to lock the way we do now it would actually not
be a major perf hit to just drop i_fsnotify_mark_mask altogether. But that is
for another day.

The fsnotify main loop has 2 booleans which tell if a particular mark was
sent to the listeners or if it should be processed in the next pass. The
problem is that the booleans were not reset on each traversal of the loop.
So marks could get skipped even when they were not sent to the notifiers.

The fanotify code is supposed to get the group from the mark. It accidentally

The 'struct file' approach not only causes that disgusting hack, it
somehow breaks pulseaudio, probably due to some other subtlety with

add I_CLEAR instead of replacing I_FREEING with it. I_CLEAR is
equivalent to I_FREEING for almost all code looking at either;
it's there to keep track of having called clear_inode() exactly
once per inode lifetime, at some point after having set I_FREEING.
I_CLEAR and I_FREEING never get set at the same time with the
current code, so we can switch to setting i_flags to I_FREEING | I_CLEAR
instead of I_CLEAR without loss of information. As the result of
such change, checks become simpler and the amount of code that needs
to know about I_CLEAR shrinks a lot.

fanotify almost works like so:
user context calls fsnotify_* function with a struct file.
fsnotify takes a reference on the struct path
user context goes about it's buissiness
at some later point in time the fsnotify listener gets the struct path
fanotify listener calls dentry_open() to create a file which userspace can deal with
listener drops the reference on the struct path
at some later point the listener calls close() on it's new file
With the switch from struct path to struct file this presents a problem for
fput() and fsnotify_close(). fsnotify_close() is called when the filp has
already reached 0 and __fput() wants to do it's cleanup.
The solution presented here is a bit odd. If an event is created from a
struct file we take a reference on the file. We check however if the f_count
was already 0 and if so we take an EXTRA reference EVEN THOUGH IT WAS ZERO.
In __fput() (where we know the f_count hit 0 once) we check if the f_count is
non-zero and if so we drop that 'extra' ref and return without destroying the
file.

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)
