At the time that this code was originally written, call_srcu didn't
exist, so this thread was required to ensure that we waited for that
SRCU grace period to settle before finally freeing the object.
It does exist now however and we can much more efficiently use call_srcu
to handle this. That also allows us to potentially use srcu_barrier to
ensure that they are all of the callbacks have run before proceeding.
In order to conserve space, we union the rcu_head with the g_list.
This will be necessary for nfsd which will allocate marks from a
dedicated slabcache. We have to be able to ensure that all of the
objects are destroyed before destroying the cache. That's fairly

fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked() is subtle to use because it temporarily
releases group->mark_mutex. To avoid future problems with this
function, split it into two.
fsnotify_detach_mark() is the part that needs group->mark_mutex and
fsnotify_free_mark() is the part that must be called outside of
group->mark_mutex. This way it's much clearer what's going on and we
also avoid some pointless acquisitions of group->mark_mutex.

The process of reducing contention on per-superblock inode lists
starts with moving the locking to match the per-superblock inode
list. This takes the global lock out of the picture and reduces the
contention problems to within a single filesystem. This doesn't get
rid of contention as the locks still have global CPU scope, but it
does isolate operations on different superblocks form each other.

Commit 8581679424 ("fanotify: Fix use after free for permission
events") introduced a double free issue for permission events which are
pending in group's notification queue while group is being destroyed.
These events are freed from fanotify_handle_event() but they are not
removed from groups notification queue and thus they get freed again
from fsnotify_flush_notify().
Fix the problem by removing permission events from notification queue
before freeing them if we skip processing access response. Also expand
comments in fanotify_release() to explain group shutdown in detail.

Commit 7053aee26a "fsnotify: do not share events between notification
groups" used overflow event statically allocated in a group with the
size of the generic notification event. This causes problems because
some code looks at type specific parts of event structure and gets
confused by a random data it sees there and causes crashes.
Fix the problem by allocating overflow event with type corresponding to
the group type so code cannot get confused.

My rework of handling of notification events (namely commit 7053aee26a
"fsnotify: do not share events between notification groups") broke
sending of cookies with inotify events. We didn't propagate the value
passed to fsnotify() properly and passed 4 uninitialized bytes to
userspace instead (so it is also an information leak). Sadly I didn't
notice this during my testing because inotify cookies aren't used very
much and LTP inotify tests ignore them.
Fix the problem by passing the cookie value properly.

Currently fsnotify framework creates one event structure for each
notification event and links this event into all interested notification
groups. This is done so that we save memory when several notification
groups are interested in the event. However the need for event
structure shared between inotify & fanotify bloats the event structure
so the result is often higher memory consumption.
Another problem is that fsnotify framework keeps path references with
outstanding events so that fanotify can return open file descriptors
with its events. This has the undesirable effect that filesystem cannot
be unmounted while there are outstanding events - a regression for
inotify compared to a situation before it was converted to fsnotify
framework. For fanotify this problem is hard to avoid and users of
fanotify should kind of expect this behavior when they ask for file
descriptors from notified files.
This patch changes fsnotify and its users to create separate event
structure for each group. This allows for much simpler code (~400 lines
removed by this patch) and also smaller event structures. For example
on 64-bit system original struct fsnotify_event consumes 120 bytes, plus
additional space for file name, additional 24 bytes for second and each
subsequent group linking the event, and additional 32 bytes for each
inotify group for private data. After the conversion inotify event
consumes 48 bytes plus space for file name which is considerably less
memory unless file names are long and there are several groups
interested in the events (both of which are uncommon). Fanotify event
fits in 56 bytes after the conversion (fanotify doesn't care about file
names so its events don't have to have it allocated). A win unless
there are four or more fanotify groups interested in the event.
The conversion also solves the problem with unmount when only inotify is
used as we don't have to grab path references for inotify events.

Recently I'm working on fanotify and found the following strange
behaviors.
I wrote a program to set fanotify_mark on "/tmp/block" and FAN_DENY
all events notified.
fanotify_mask = FAN_ALL_EVENTS | FAN_ALL_PERM_EVENTS | FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD:
$ cd /tmp/block; cat foo
cat: foo: Operation not permitted
Operation on the file is blocked as expected.
But,
fanotify_mask = FAN_ALL_PERM_EVENTS | FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD:
$ cd /tmp/block; cat foo
aaa
It's not blocked anymore. This is confusing behavior. Also reading
commit "fsnotify: call fsnotify_parent in perm events", it seems like
fsnotify should handle subfiles' perm events as well as the other notify
events.
With this patch, regardless of FAN_ALL_EVENTS set or not:
$ cd /tmp/block; cat foo
cat: foo: Operation not permitted
Operation on the file is now blocked properly.
FS_OPEN_PERM and FS_ACCESS_PERM are not listed on FS_EVENTS_POSS_ON_CHILD.
Due to fsnotify_inode_watches_children() check, if you only specify only
these events as fsnotify_mask, you don't get subfiles' perm events
notified.
This patch add the events to FS_EVENTS_POSS_ON_CHILD to get them notified
even if only these events are specified to fsnotify_mask.

When fanotify_release() is called, there may still be processes waiting for
access permission. Currently only processes for which an event has already been
queued into the groups access list will be woken up. Processes for which no
event has been queued will continue to sleep and thus cause a deadlock when
fsnotify_put_group() is called.
Furthermore there is a race allowing further processes to be waiting on the
access wait queue after wake_up (if they arrive before clear_marks_by_group()
is called).
This patch corrects this by setting a flag to inform processes that the group
is about to be destroyed and thus not to wait for access permission.

Lets think about the 4 relevant code paths from the PoV of the
'operator' 'listener' 'responder' and 'closer'. Where operator is the
process doing an action (like open/read) which could require permission.
Listener is the task (or in this case thread) slated with reading from
the fanotify file descriptor. The 'responder' is the thread responsible
for responding to access requests. 'Closer' is the thread attempting to
close the fanotify file descriptor.
The 'operator' is going to end up in:
fanotify_handle_event()
get_response_from_access()
(THIS BLOCKS WAITING ON USERSPACE)
The 'listener' interesting code path
fanotify_read()
copy_event_to_user()
prepare_for_access_response()
(THIS CREATES AN fanotify_response_event)
The 'responder' code path:
fanotify_write()
process_access_response()
(REMOVE A fanotify_response_event, SET RESPONSE, WAKE UP 'operator')
The 'closer':
fanotify_release()
(SUPPOSED TO CLEAN UP THE REST OF THIS MESS)
What we have today is that in the closer we remove all of the
fanotify_response_events and set a bit so no more response events are
ever created in prepare_for_access_response().
The bug is that we never wake all of the operators up and tell them to
move along. You fix that in fanotify_get_response_from_access(). You
also fix other operators which haven't gotten there yet. So I agree
that's a good fix.

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.
