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.
CONFORMING TO
These system calls are Linux-specific.

This patch defines a new syscall fanotify_init() of the form:
int sys_fanotify_init(unsigned int flags, unsigned int event_f_flags,
unsigned int priority)
This syscall is used to create and fanotify group. This is very similar to
the inotify_init() syscall.

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
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.

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 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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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>
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

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

inotify_free_mark casts directly from an fsnotify_mark_entry to an

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.

This patch allows a task to add a second fsnotify mark to an inode for the

Recently my tagged sysfs support revealed a flaw in the device core
that a few rare drivers are running into such that we don't always put
network devices in a class subdirectory named net/.
Since we are not creating the class directory the network devices wind
up in a non-tagged directory, but the symlinks to the network devices
from /sys/class/net are in a tagged directory. All of which works
until we go to remove or rename the symlink. When we remove or rename
a symlink we look in the namespace of the target of the symlink.
Since the target of the symlink is in a non-tagged sysfs directory we
don't have a namespace to look in, and we fail to remove the symlink.
Detect this problem up front and simply don't create symlinks we won't
be able to remove later. This prevents symlink leakage and fails in
a much clearer and more understandable way.

Fix the security problem in the CIFS filesystem DNS lookup code in which a
malicious redirect could be installed by a random user by simply adding a
result record into one of their keyrings with add_key() and then invoking a
CIFS CFS lookup [CVE-2010-2524].
This is done by creating an internal keyring specifically for the caching of
DNS lookups. To enforce the use of this keyring, the module init routine
creates a set of override credentials with the keyring installed as the thread
keyring and instructs request_key() to only install lookup result keys in that
keyring.
The override is then applied around the call to request_key().
This has some additional benefits when a kernel service uses this module to
request a key:
(1) The result keys are owned by root, not the user that caused the lookup.
(2) The result keys don't pop up in the user's keyrings.
(3) The result keys don't come out of the quota of the user that caused the
lookup.
The keyring can be viewed as root by doing cat /proc/keys:
2a0ca6c3 I----- 1 perm 1f030000 0 0 keyring .dns_resolver: 1/4
It can then be listed with 'keyctl list' by root.
# keyctl list 0x2a0ca6c3
1 key in keyring:
726766307: --alswrv 0 0 dns_resolver: foo.bar.com
