fanotify has some hardcoded limits. The only APIs to escape those limits
are FAN_UNLIMITED_QUEUE and FAN_UNLIMITED_MARKS.
Allow finer grained tuning of the system limits via sysfs tunables under
/proc/sys/fs/fanotify, similar to tunables under /proc/sys/fs/inotify,
with some minor differences.
- max_queued_events - global system tunable for group queue size limit.
Like the inotify tunable with the same name, it defaults to 16384 and
applies on initialization of a new group.
- max_user_marks - user ns tunable for marks limit per user.
Like the inotify tunable named max_user_watches, on a machine with
sufficient RAM and it defaults to 1048576 in init userns and can be
further limited per containing user ns.
- max_user_groups - user ns tunable for number of groups per user.
Like the inotify tunable named max_user_instances, it defaults to 128
in init userns and can be further limited per containing user ns.
The slightly different tunable names used for fanotify are derived from
the "group" and "mark" terminology used in the fanotify man pages and
throughout the code.
Considering the fact that the default value for max_user_instances was
increased in kernel v5.10 from 8192 to 1048576, leaving the legacy
fanotify limit of 8192 marks per group in addition to the max_user_marks
limit makes little sense, so the per group marks limit has been removed.
Note that when a group is initialized with FAN_UNLIMITED_MARKS, its own
marks are not accounted in the per user marks account, so in effect the
limit of max_user_marks is only for the collection of groups that are
not initialized with FAN_UNLIMITED_MARKS.

In order to improve event merge performance, hash events in a 128 size
hash table by the event merge key.
The fanotify_event size grows by two pointers, but we just reduced its
size by removing the objectid member, so overall its size is increased
by one pointer.
Permission events and overflow event are not merged so they are also

objectid is only used by fanotify backend and it is just an optimization
for event merge before comparing all fields in event.
Move the objectid member from common struct fsnotify_event into struct
fanotify_event and reduce it to 29-bit hash to cram it together with the
3-bit event type.
Events of different types are never merged, so the combination of event
type and hash form a 32-bit key for fast compare of events.
This reduces the size of events by one pointer and paves the way for
adding hashed queue support for fanotify.

Currently the fs sysctl inotify/max_user_instances is used to limit the
number of inotify instances on the system. For systems running multiple
workloads, the per-user namespace sysctl max_inotify_instances can be
used to further partition inotify instances. However there is no easy
way to set a sensible system level max limit on inotify instances and
further partition it between the workloads. It is much easier to charge
the underlying resource (i.e. memory) behind the inotify instances to
the memcg of the workload and let their memory limits limit the number
of inotify instances they can create.
With inotify instances charged to memcg, the admin can simply set
max_user_instances to INT_MAX and let the memcg limits of the jobs limit
their inotify instances.

fsnotify_parent() used to send two separate events to backends when a
parent inode is watching children and the child inode is also watching.
In an attempt to avoid duplicate events in fanotify, we unified the two
backend callbacks to a single callback and handled the reporting of the
two separate events for the relevant backends (inotify and dnotify).
However the handling is buggy and can result in inotify and dnotify
listeners receiving events of the type they never asked for or spurious
events.
The problem is the unified event callback with two inode marks (parent and
child) is called when any of the parent and child inodes are watched and
interested in the event, but the parent inode's mark that is interested
in the event on the child is not necessarily the one we are currently
reporting to (it could belong to a different group).
So before reporting the parent or child event flavor to backend we need
to check that the mark is really interested in that event flavor.
The semantics of INODE and CHILD marks were hard to follow and made the
logic more complicated than it should have been. Replace it with INODE
and PARENT marks semantics to hopefully make the logic more clear.
Thanks to Hugh Dickins for spotting a bug in the earlier version of this
patch.

The handle_inode_event() interface was added as (quoting comment):
"a simple variant of handle_event() for groups that only have inode
marks and don't have ignore mask".
In other words, all backends except fanotify. The inotify backend
also falls under this category, but because it required extra arguments
it was left out of the initial pass of backends conversion to the
simple interface.
This results in code duplication between the generic helper
fsnotify_handle_event() and the inotify_handle_event() callback
which also happen to be buggy code.
Generalize the handle_inode_event() arguments and add the check for
FS_EXCL_UNLINK flag to the generic helper, so inotify backend could
be converted to use the simple interface.

The method handle_event() grew a lot of complexity due to the design of
fanotify and merging of ignore masks.
Most backends do not care about this complex functionality, so we can hide
this complexity from them.
Introduce a method handle_inode_event() that serves those backends and
passes a single inode mark and less arguments.
This change converts all backends except fanotify and inotify to use the
simplified handle_inode_event() method. In pricipal, inotify could have
also used the new method, but that would require passing more arguments
on the simple helper (data, data_type, cookie), so we leave it with the
handle_event() method.

Similar to events "on child" to watching directory, send event
with parent/name info if sb/mount/non-dir marks are interested in
parent/name info.
The FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD flag can be set on sb/mount/non-dir marks to specify
interest in parent/name info for events on non-directory inodes.
Events on "orphan" children (disconnected dentries) are sent without
parent/name info.
Events on directories are sent with parent/name info only if the parent
directory is watching.
After this change, even groups that do not subscribe to events on
children could get an event with mark iterator type TYPE_CHILD and
without mark iterator type TYPE_INODE if fanotify has marks on the same
objects.
dnotify and inotify event handlers can already cope with that situation.
audit does not subscribe to events that are possible on child, so won't
get to this situation. nfsd does not access the marks iterator from its
event handler at the moment, so it is not affected.
This is a bit too fragile, so we should prepare all groups to cope with
mark type TYPE_CHILD preferably using a generic helper.

The object type iterator is used to collect all the marks of
a specific group that have interest in an event.
It is used by fanotify to get a single handle_event callback
when an event has a match to either of inode/sb/mount marks
of the group.
The nature of fsnotify events is that they are associated with
at most one sb at most one mount and at most one inode.
When a parent and child are both watching, two events are sent
to backend, one associated to parent inode and one associated
to the child inode.
This results in duplicate events in fanotify, which usually
get merged before user reads them, but this is sub-optimal.
It would be better if the same event is sent to backend with
an object type iterator that has both the child inode and its
parent, and let the backend decide if the event should be reported
once (fanotify) or twice (inotify).

The 'inode' argument to handle_event(), sometimes referred to as
'to_tell' is somewhat obsolete.
It is a remnant from the times when a group could only have an inode mark
associated with an event.
We now pass an iter_info array to the callback, with all marks associated
with an event.
Most backends ignore this argument, with two exceptions:
1. dnotify uses it for sanity check that event is on directory
2. fanotify uses it to report fid of directory on directory entry
modification events
Remove the 'inode' argument and add a 'dir' argument.
The callback function signature is deliberately changed, because
the meaning of the argument has changed and the arguments have
been documented.
The 'dir' argument is set to when 'file_name' is specified and it is
referring to the directory that the 'file_name' entry belongs to.

The fsnotify paths are trivial to hit even when there are no watchers and
they are surprisingly expensive. For example, every successful vfs_write()
hits fsnotify_modify which calls both fsnotify_parent and fsnotify unless
FMODE_NONOTIFY is set which is an internal flag invisible to userspace.
As it stands, fsnotify_parent is a guaranteed functional call even if there
are no watchers and fsnotify() does a substantial amount of unnecessary
work before it checks if there are any watchers. A perf profile showed
that applying mnt->mnt_fsnotify_mask in fnotify() was almost half of the
total samples taken in that function during a test. This patch rearranges
the fast paths to reduce the amount of work done when there are no
watchers.
The test motivating this was "perf bench sched messaging --pipe". Despite
the fact the pipes are anonymous, fsnotify is still called a lot and
the overhead is noticeable even though it's completely pointless. It's
likely the overhead is negligible for real IO so this is an extreme
example. This is a comparison of hackbench using processes and pipes on
a 1-socket machine with 8 CPU threads without fanotify watchers.

This is showing that the latencies are improved by roughly 2-9%. The
variability is not shown but some of these results are within the noise
as this workload heavily overloads the machine. That said, the system CPU
usage is reduced by quite a bit so it makes sense to avoid the overhead
even if it is a bit tricky to detect at times. A perf profile of just 1
group of tasks showed that 5.14% of samples taken were in either fsnotify()
or fsnotify_parent(). With the patch, 2.8% of samples were in fsnotify,
mostly function entry and the initial check for watchers. The check for
watchers is complicated enough that inlining it may be controversial.

Dirent events are going to be supported in two flavors:
1. Directory fid info + mask that includes the specific event types
(e.g. FAN_CREATE) and an optional FAN_ONDIR flag.
2. Directory fid info + name + mask that includes only FAN_DIR_MODIFY.
To request the second event flavor, user needs to set the event type
FAN_DIR_MODIFY in the mark mask.
The first flavor is supported since kernel v5.1 for groups initialized
with flag FAN_REPORT_FID. It is intended to be used for watching
directories in "batch mode" - the watcher is notified when directory is
changed and re-scans the directory content in response. This event
flavor is stored more compactly in the event queue, so it is optimal
for workloads with frequent directory changes.
The second event flavor is intended to be used for watching large
directories, where the cost of re-scan of the directory on every change
is considered too high. The watcher getting the event with the directory
fid and entry name is expected to call fstatat(2) to query the content of
the entry after the change.
Legacy inotify events are reported with name and event mask (e.g. "foo",
FAN_CREATE | FAN_ONDIR). That can lead users to the conclusion that
there is *currently* an entry "foo" that is a sub-directory, when in fact
"foo" may be negative or non-dir by the time user gets the event.
To make it clear that the current state of the named entry is unknown,
when reporting an event with name info, fanotify obfuscates the specific
event types (e.g. create,delete,rename) and uses a common event type -
FAN_DIR_MODIFY to describe the change. This should make it harder for
users to make wrong assumptions and write buggy filesystem monitors.
At this point, name info reporting is not yet implemented, so trying to
set FAN_DIR_MODIFY in mark mask will return -EINVAL.

"dirent" events are referring to events that modify directory entries,

ALL_FSNOTIFY_DIRENT_EVENTS defines all the dirent event types and

That means for a directory with an inotify watch and only dirent
events in the mask (i.e. create,delete,move), all children dentries
will no longer have the DCACHE_FSNOTIFY_PARENT_WATCHED flag set.
This will allow all events that happen on children to be optimized

FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD gets a special treatment in fsnotify() because it is
not a flag specifying an event type, but rather an extra flags that may
be reported along with another event and control the handling of the
event by the backend.
FS_ISDIR is also an "extra flag" and not an "event type" and therefore
desrves the same treatment. With inotify/dnotify backends it was never
possible to set FS_ISDIR in mark masks, so it did not matter.
With fanotify backend, mark adding code jumps through hoops to avoid
setting the FS_ISDIR in the commulative object mask.

Patch series "Directed kmem charging", v8.
The Linux kernel's memory cgroup allows limiting the memory usage of the
jobs running on the system to provide isolation between the jobs. All
the kernel memory allocated in the context of the job and marked with
__GFP_ACCOUNT will also be included in the memory usage and be limited
by the job's limit.
The kernel memory can only be charged to the memcg of the process in
whose context kernel memory was allocated. However there are cases
where the allocated kernel memory should be charged to the memcg
different from the current processes's memcg. This patch series
contains two such concrete use-cases i.e. fsnotify and buffer_head.
The fsnotify event objects can consume a lot of system memory for large
or unlimited queues if there is either no or slow listener. The events
are allocated in the context of the event producer. However they should
be charged to the event consumer. Similarly the buffer_head objects can
be allocated in a memcg different from the memcg of the page for which
buffer_head objects are being allocated.
To solve this issue, this patch series introduces mechanism to charge
kernel memory to a given memcg. In case of fsnotify events, the memcg
of the consumer can be used for charging and for buffer_head, the memcg
of the page can be charged. For directed charging, the caller can use
the scope API memalloc_[un]use_memcg() to specify the memcg to charge
for all the __GFP_ACCOUNT allocations within the scope.
This patch (of 2):
A lot of memory can be consumed by the events generated for the huge or
unlimited queues if there is either no or slow listener. This can cause
system level memory pressure or OOMs. So, it's better to account the
fsnotify kmem caches to the memcg of the listener.
However the listener can be in a different memcg than the memcg of the
producer and these allocations happen in the context of the event
producer. This patch introduces remote memcg charging API which the
producer can use to charge the allocations to the memcg of the listener.
There are seven fsnotify kmem caches and among them allocations from
dnotify_struct_cache, dnotify_mark_cache, fanotify_mark_cache and
inotify_inode_mark_cachep happens in the context of syscall from the
listener. So, SLAB_ACCOUNT is enough for these caches.
The objects from fsnotify_mark_connector_cachep are not accounted as
they are small compared to the notification mark or events and it is
unclear whom to account connector to since it is shared by all events
attached to the inode.
The allocations from the event caches happen in the context of the event
producer. For such caches we will need to remote charge the allocations
to the listener's memcg. Thus we save the memcg reference in the
fsnotify_group structure of the listener.
This patch has also moved the members of fsnotify_group to keep the size
same, at least for 64 bit build, even with additional member by filling
the holes.

Code that needs to dereference an inode or mount object now uses the

Instead of passing inode and vfsmount arguments to fsnotify_add_mark()
and its _locked variant, pass an abstract object pointer and the object
type.
The helpers fsnotify_obj_{inode,mount} are added to get the concrete
object pointer from abstract object pointer.

Make some code that handles marks of object types inode and vfsmount
generic, so it can handle other object types.
Introduce fsnotify_foreach_obj_type macro to iterate marks by object type
and fsnotify_iter_{should|set}_report_type macros to set/test report_mask.
This is going to be used for adding mark of another object type
(super block mark).

inode_mark and vfsmount_mark arguments are passed to handle_event()
operation as function arguments as well as on iter_info struct.
The difference is that iter_info struct may contain marks that should
not be handled and are represented as NULL arguments to inode_mark or
vfsmount_mark.
Instead of passing the inode_mark and vfsmount_mark arguments, add
a report_mask member to iter_info struct to indicate which marks should
be handled, versus marks that should only be kept alive during user
wait.
This change is going to be used for passing more mark types
with handle_event() (i.e. super block marks).

An fsnotify_mark_connector is referencing a single type of object
(either inode or vfsmount). Instead of storing a type mask in
connector->flags, store a single type id in connector->type to
identify the type of object.
When a connector object is detached from the object, its type is set
to FSNOTIFY_OBJ_TYPE_DETACHED and this object is not going to be
reused.
The function fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group() is the only place where
type mask was used, so use type flags instead of type id to this
function.
This change is going to be more convenient when adding a new object
type (super block).

Merge tag 'for_v4.17-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jack/linux-fs
Pull fsnotify fix from Jan Kara:
"A fix of a fsnotify race causing panics / softlockups"
* tag 'for_v4.17-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jack/linux-fs:
fsnotify: Fix fsnotify_mark_connector race
fsnotify() acquires a reference to a fsnotify_mark_connector through
the SRCU-protected pointer to_tell->i_fsnotify_marks. However, it
appears that no precautions are taken in fsnotify_put_mark() to
ensure that fsnotify() drops its reference to this
fsnotify_mark_connector before assigning a value to its 'destroy_next'
field. This can result in fsnotify_put_mark() assigning a value
to a connector's 'destroy_next' field right before fsnotify() tries to
traverse the linked list referenced by the connector's 'list' field.
Since these two fields are members of the same union, this behavior
results in a kernel panic.
This issue is resolved by moving the connector's 'destroy_next' field
into the object pointer union. This should work since the object pointer
access is protected by both a spinlock and the value of the 'flags'
field, and the 'flags' field is cleared while holding the spinlock in
fsnotify_put_mark() before 'destroy_next' is updated. It shouldn't be
possible for another thread to accidentally read from the object pointer
after the 'destroy_next' field is updated.
The offending behavior here is extremely unlikely; since
fsnotify_put_mark() removes references to a connector (specifically,
it ensures that the connector is unreachable from the inode it was
formerly attached to) before updating its 'destroy_next' field, a
sizeable chunk of code in fsnotify_put_mark() has to execute in the
short window between when fsnotify() acquires the connector reference
and saves the value of its 'list' field. On the HEAD kernel, I've only
been able to reproduce this by inserting a udelay(1) in fsnotify().
However, I've been able to reproduce this issue without inserting a
udelay(1) anywhere on older unmodified release kernels, so I believe
it's worth fixing at HEAD.
