Free list is used when all marks on given inode / mount should be
destroyed when inode / mount is going away. However we can free all of
the marks without using a special list with some care.

fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group_flags() can race with
fsnotify_destroy_marks() so that when fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked()
drops mark_mutex, a mark from the list iterated by
fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group_flags() can be freed and thus the next
entry pointer we have cached may become stale and we dereference free
memory.
Fix the problem by first moving marks to free to a special private list
and then always free the first entry in the special list. This method
is safe even when entries from the list can disappear once we drop the
lock.

This reverts commit a2673b6e04.
Kinglong Mee reports a memory leak with that patch, and Jan Kara confirms:
"Thanks for report! You are right that my patch introduces a race
between fsnotify kthread and fsnotify_destroy_group() which can result
in leaking inotify event on group destruction.
I haven't yet decided whether the right fix is not to queue events for
dying notification group (as that is pointless anyway) or whether we
should just fix the original problem differently... Whenever I look
at fsnotify code mark handling I get lost in the maze of locks, lists,
and subtle differences between how different notification systems
handle notification marks :( I'll think about it over night"
and after thinking about it, Jan says:
"OK, I have looked into the code some more and I found another
relatively simple way of fixing the original oops. It will be IMHO
better than trying to fixup this issue which has more potential for
breakage. I'll ask Linus to revert the fsnotify fix he already merged
and send a new fix"

fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group_flags() can race with
fsnotify_destroy_marks() so when fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked() drops
mark_mutex, a mark from the list iterated by
fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group_flags() can be freed and we dereference free
memory in the loop there.
Fix the problem by keeping mark_mutex held in
fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked(). The reason why we drop that mutex is that
we need to call a ->freeing_mark() callback which may acquire mark_mutex
again. To avoid this and similar lock inversion issues, we move the call
to ->freeing_mark() callback to the kthread destroying the mark.

destroy_list is used to track marks which still need waiting for srcu
period end before they can be freed. However by the time mark is added to
destroy_list it isn't in group's list of marks anymore and thus we can
reuse fsnotify_mark->g_list for queueing into destroy_list. This saves
two pointers for each fsnotify_mark.

fsnotify() needs to merge inode and mount marks lists when notifying
groups about events so that ignore masks from inode marks are reflected
in mount mark notifications and groups are notified in proper order
(according to priorities).
Currently the sorting of the lists done by fsnotify_add_inode_mark() /
fsnotify_add_vfsmount_mark() and fsnotify() differed which resulted
ignore masks not being used in some cases.
Fix the problem by always using the same comparison function when
sorting / merging the mark lists.
Thanks to Heinrich Schuchardt for improvements of my patch.

In clear_marks_by_group_flags() the mark list of a group is iterated and the
marks are put on a temporary list.
Since we introduced fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked() we dont need the temp list
any more and are able to remove the marks while the mark list is iterated and
the mark list mutex is held.

Race-free addition and removal of a mark to a groups mark list would be easier
if we could lock the mark list of group before we lock the specific mark.
This patch changes the order used to add/remove marks to/from mark lists from
1. mark->lock
2. group->mark_lock
3. inode->i_lock
to
1. group->mark_lock
2. mark->lock
3. inode->i_lock

Get a group ref for each mark that is added to the groups list and release that
ref when the mark is freed in fsnotify_put_mark().
We also use get a group reference for duplicated marks and for private event
data.
Now we dont free a group any more when the number of marks becomes 0 but when
the groups ref count does. Since this will only happen when all marks are removed
from a groups mark list, we dont have to set the groups number of marks to 1 at
group creation.
Beside clearing all marks in fsnotify_destroy_group() we do also flush the
groups event queue. This is since events may hold references to groups (due to
private event data) and we have to put those references first before we get a
chance to put the final ref, which will result in a call to
fsnotify_final_destroy_group().

Removing the parent of a watched file results in "kernel BUG at
fs/notify/mark.c:139".
To reproduce
add "-w /tmp/audit/dir/watched_file" to audit.rules
rm -rf /tmp/audit/dir
This is caused by fsnotify_destroy_mark() being called without an
extra reference taken by the caller.

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)

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.

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.
