* fanotify: disable fanotify syscallsEric Paris2010-10-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch disables the fanotify syscalls by just not building them and letting the cond_syscall() statements in kernel/sys_ni.c redirect them to sys_ni_syscall(). It was pointed out by Tvrtko Ursulin that the fanotify interface did not include an explicit prioritization between groups. This is necessary for fanotify to be usable for hierarchical storage management software, as they must get first access to the file, before inotify-like notifiers see the file. This feature can be added in an ABI compatible way in the next release (by using a number of bits in the flags field to carry the info) but it was suggested by Alan that maybe we should just hold off and do it in the next cycle, likely with an (new) explicit argument to the syscall. I don't like this approach best as I know people are already starting to use the current interface, but Alan is all wise and noone on list backed me up with just using what we have. I feel this is needlessly ripping the rug out from under people at the last minute, but if others think it needs to be a new argument it might be the best way forward. Three choices: Go with what we got (and implement the new feature next cycle). Add a new field right now (and implement the new feature next cycle). Wait till next cycle to release the ABI (and implement the new feature next cycle). This is number 3.

* fsnotify: drop two useless bools in the fnsotify main loopEric Paris2010-08-281-8/+5
| | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
* fsnotify: fix list walk orderEric Paris2010-08-281-6/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

| | | | | | | | | | This reminded me... you have two pr_debugs in fanotify_should_send_event which output redundant information.

* fanotify: flush outstanding perm requests on group destroyEric Paris2010-08-231-0/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* fsnotify: fix ignored mask handling between inode and vfsmount marksEric Paris2010-08-231-18/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* fsnotify: reset used_inode and used_vfsmount on each passEric Paris2010-08-231-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | 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.

* fanotify: do not dereference inode_mark when it is unsetEric Paris2010-08-231-4/+11
| | | | | | | | | The fanotify code is supposed to get the group from the mark. It accidentally only used the inode_mark. If the vfsmount_mark was set but not the inode_mark it would deref the NULL inode_mark. Get the group from the correct place.

* Revert "fsnotify: store struct file not struct path"Linus Torvalds2010-08-125-41/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 3bcf3860a4ff9bbc522820b4b765e65e4deceb3e (and the accompanying commit c1e5c954020e "vfs/fsnotify: fsnotify_close can delay the final work in fput" that was a horribly ugly hack to make it work at all). The 'struct file' approach not only causes that disgusting hack, it somehow breaks pulseaudio, probably due to some other subtlety with f_count handling.

| * fanotify: use both marks when possibleEric Paris2010-07-284-58/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fanotify currently, when given a vfsmount_mark will look up (if it exists) the corresponding inode mark. This patch drops that lookup and uses the mark provided. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The global fsnotify groups lists were invented as a way to increase the performance of fsnotify by shortcutting events which were not interesting.

| * vfs/fsnotify: fsnotify_close can delay the final work in fputEric Paris2010-07-281-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
