Fanotify code has its own lock (access_lock) to protect a list of events
waiting for a response from userspace.
However this is somewhat awkward as the same list_head in the event is
protected by notification_lock if it is part of the notification queue
and by access_lock if it is part of the fanotify private queue which
makes it difficult for any reliable checks in the generic code. So make
fanotify use the same lock - notification_lock - for protecting its
private event list.

fsnotify_flush_notify() and fanotify_release() destroy notification
event while holding notification_mutex.
The destruction of fanotify event includes a path_put() call which may
end up calling into a filesystem to delete an inode if we happen to be
the last holders of dentry reference which happens to be the last holder
of inode reference.
That in turn may violate lock ordering for some filesystems since
notification_mutex is also acquired e. g. during write when generating
fanotify event.
Also this is the only thing that forces notification_mutex to be a
sleeping lock. So drop notification_mutex before destroying a
notification event.

fanotify_get_response() calls fsnotify_remove_event() when it finds that
group is being released from fanotify_release() (bypass_perm is set).
However the event it removes need not be only in the group's notification
queue but it can have already moved to access_list (userspace read the
event before closing the fanotify instance fd) which is protected by a
different lock. Thus when fsnotify_remove_event() races with
fanotify_release() operating on access_list, the list can get corrupted.
Fix the problem by moving all the logic removing permission events from
the lists to one place - fanotify_release().

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.

Currently FAN_ONDIR is always set on a mark's ignored mask when the
event mask is extended without FAN_MARK_ONDIR being set. This may
result in events for directories being ignored unexpectedly for call
sequences like
fanotify_mark(fd, FAN_MARK_ADD, FAN_OPEN | FAN_ONDIR , AT_FDCWD, "dir");
fanotify_mark(fd, FAN_MARK_ADD, FAN_CLOSE, AT_FDCWD, "dir");
Also FAN_MARK_ONDIR is only honored when adding events to a mark's mask,
but not for event removal. Fix both issues by not setting FAN_ONDIR
implicitly on the ignore mask any more. Instead treat FAN_ONDIR as any
other event flag and require FAN_MARK_ONDIR to be set by the user for
both event mask and ignore mask. Furthermore take FAN_MARK_ONDIR into
account when set for event removal.

As per e23738a730 ("sched, inotify: Deal with nested sleeps").
fanotify_read is a wait loop with sleeps in. Wait loops rely on
task_struct::state and sleeps do too, since that's the only means of
actually sleeping. Therefore the nested sleeps destroy the wait loop
state and the wait loop breaks the sleep functions that assume
TASK_RUNNING (mutex_lock).
Fix this by using the new woken_wake_function and wait_woken() stuff,
which registers wakeups in wait and thereby allows shrinking the
task_state::state changes to the actual sleep part.

According to commit 80af258867 ("fanotify: groups can specify their
f_flags for new fd"), file descriptors created as part of file access
notification events inherit flags from the event_f_flags argument passed
to syscall fanotify_init(2)[1].
Unfortunately O_CLOEXEC is currently silently ignored.
Indeed, event_f_flags are only given to dentry_open(), which only seems to
care about O_ACCMODE and O_PATH in do_dentry_open(), O_DIRECT in
open_check_o_direct() and O_LARGEFILE in generic_file_open().
It's a pity, since, according to some lookup on various search engines and
http://codesearch.debian.net/, there's already some userspace code which
use O_CLOEXEC:
- in systemd's readahead[2]:
fanotify_fd = fanotify_init(FAN_CLOEXEC|FAN_NONBLOCK, O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE|O_CLOEXEC|O_NOATIME);
- in clsync[3]:
#define FANOTIFY_EVFLAGS (O_LARGEFILE|O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC)
int fanotify_d = fanotify_init(FANOTIFY_FLAGS, FANOTIFY_EVFLAGS);
- in examples [4] from "Filesystem monitoring in the Linux
kernel" article[5] by Aleksander Morgado:
if ((fanotify_fd = fanotify_init (FAN_CLOEXEC,
O_RDONLY | O_CLOEXEC | O_LARGEFILE)) < 0)
Additionally, since commit 48149e9d3a ("fanotify: check file flags
passed in fanotify_init"). having O_CLOEXEC as part of fanotify_init()
second argument is expressly allowed.
So it seems expected to set close-on-exec flag on the file descriptors if
userspace is allowed to request it with O_CLOEXEC.
But Andrew Morton raised[6] the concern that enabling now close-on-exec
might break existing applications which ask for O_CLOEXEC but expect the
file descriptor to be inherited across exec().
In the other hand, as reported by Mihai Dontu[7] close-on-exec on the file
descriptor returned as part of file access notify can break applications
due to deadlock. So close-on-exec is needed for most applications.
More, applications asking for close-on-exec are likely expecting it to be
enabled, relying on O_CLOEXEC being effective. If not, it might weaken
their security, as noted by Jan Kara[8].
So this patch replaces call to macro get_unused_fd() by a call to function
get_unused_fd_flags() with event_f_flags value as argument. This way
O_CLOEXEC flag in the second argument of fanotify_init(2) syscall is
interpreted and close-on-exec get enabled when requested.

These events are freed from fanotify_handle_event() but they are not
removed from groups notification queue and thus they get freed again

Fix the problem by removing permission events from notification queue
before freeing them if we skip processing access response. Also expand

Without this patch fanotify_init does not validate the value passed in
event_f_flags.
When a fanotify event is read from the fanotify file descriptor a new
file descriptor is created where file.f_flags = event_f_flags.
Internal and external open flags are stored together in field f_flags of
struct file. Hence, an application might create file descriptors with
internal flags like FMODE_EXEC, FMODE_NOCMTIME set.
Jan Kara and Eric Paris both aggreed that this is a bug and the value of
event_f_flags should be checked:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/29/522https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/29/539
This updated patch version considers the comments by Michael Kerrisk in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/4/10
With the patch the value of event_f_flags is checked.
When specifying an invalid value error EINVAL is returned.
Internal flags are disallowed.
File creation flags are disallowed:
O_CREAT, O_DIRECTORY, O_EXCL, O_NOCTTY, O_NOFOLLOW, O_TRUNC, and O_TTY_INIT.
Flags which do not make sense with fanotify are disallowed:
__O_TMPFILE, O_PATH, FASYNC, and O_DIRECT.
This leaves us with the following allowed values:
O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY, O_RDWR are basic functionality. The are stored in the
bits given by O_ACCMODE.
O_APPEND is working as expected. The value might be useful in a logging
application which appends the current status each time the log is opened.
O_LARGEFILE is needed for files exceeding 4GB on 32bit systems.
O_NONBLOCK may be useful when monitoring slow devices like tapes.
O_NDELAY is equal to O_NONBLOCK except for platform parisc.
To avoid code breaking on parisc either both flags should be
allowed or none. The patch allows both.
__O_SYNC and O_DSYNC may be used to avoid data loss on power disruption.
O_NOATIME may be useful to reduce disk activity.
O_CLOEXEC may be useful, if separate processes shall be used to scan files.
Once this patch is accepted, the fanotify_init.2 manpage has to be updated.

On 64-bit systems, O_LARGEFILE is automatically added to flags inside
the open() syscall (also openat(), blkdev_open(), etc). Userspace
therefore defines O_LARGEFILE to be 0 - you can use it, but it's a
no-op. Everything should be O_LARGEFILE by default.
But: when fanotify does create_fd() it uses dentry_open(), which skips
all that. And userspace can't set O_LARGEFILE in fanotify_init()
because it's defined to 0. So if fanotify gets an event regarding a
large file, the read() will just fail with -EOVERFLOW.
This patch adds O_LARGEFILE to fanotify_init()'s event_f_flags on 64-bit
systems, using the same test as open()/openat()/etc.

Currently, fanotify creates new structure to track the fact that
permission event has been reported to userspace and someone is waiting
for a response to it. As event structures are now completely in the
hands of each notification framework, we can use the event structure for
this tracking instead of allocating a new structure.
Since this makes the event structures for normal events and permission
events even more different and the structures have different lifetime
rules, we split them into two separate structures (where permission
event structure contains the structure for a normal event). This makes
normal events 8 bytes smaller and the code a tad bit cleaner.

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.

For both adding an event to an existing mark and destroying a mark we
first have to find it via fsnotify_find_[inode|vfsmount]_mark(). But
getting the mark and adding an event (or destroying it) is not done
atomically. This opens a race where a thread is about to destroy a mark
while another thread still finds the same mark and adds an event to its
mask although it will be destroyed.
Another race exists concerning the excess of a groups number of marks
limit: When a mark is added the number of group marks is checked against
the max number of marks per group and increased afterwards. Since check
and increment is also not done atomically, this may result in 2 or more
processes passing the check at the same time and increasing the number
of group marks above the allowed limit.
With this patch both races are avoided by doing the concerning
operations with the groups mark mutex locked.

Pull filesystem notification updates from Eric Paris:
"This pull mostly is about locking changes in the fsnotify system. By
switching the group lock from a spin_lock() to a mutex() we can now
hold the lock across things like iput(). This fixes a problem
involving unmounting a fs and having inodes be busy, first pointed out
by FAT, but reproducible with tmpfs.
This also restores signal driven I/O for inotify, which has been
broken since about 2.6.32."
Ugh. I *hate* the timing of this. It was rebased after the merge
window opened, and then left to sit with the pull request coming the day
before the merge window closes. That's just crap. But apparently the
patches themselves have been around for over a year, just gathering
dust, so now it's suddenly critical.
Fixed up semantic conflict in fs/notify/fdinfo.c as per Stephen
Rothwell's fixes from -next.
* 'for-next' of git://git.infradead.org/users/eparis/notify:
inotify: automatically restart syscalls
inotify: dont skip removal of watch descriptor if creation of ignored event failed
fanotify: dont merge permission events
fsnotify: make fasync generic for both inotify and fanotify
fsnotify: change locking order
fsnotify: dont put marks on temporary list when clearing marks by group
fsnotify: introduce locked versions of fsnotify_add_mark() and fsnotify_remove_mark()
fsnotify: pass group to fsnotify_destroy_mark()
fsnotify: use a mutex instead of a spinlock to protect a groups mark list
fanotify: add an extra flag to mark_remove_from_mask that indicates wheather a mark should be destroyed
fsnotify: take groups mark_lock before mark lock
fsnotify: use reference counting for groups
fsnotify: introduce fsnotify_get_group()
inotify, fanotify: replace fsnotify_put_group() with fsnotify_destroy_group()
inotify is supposed to support async signal notification when information
is available on the inotify fd. This patch moves that support to generic
fsnotify functions so it can be used by all notification mechanisms.

This patch adds an extra flag to mark_remove_from_mask() to inform the caller if
the mark should be destroyed.
With this we dont destroy the mark implicitly in the function itself any more
but let the caller handle it.

Currently in fsnotify_put_group() the ref count of a group is decremented and if
it becomes 0 fsnotify_destroy_group() is called. Since a groups ref count is only
at group creation set to 1 and never increased after that a call to fsnotify_put_group()
always results in a call to fsnotify_destroy_group().
With this patch fsnotify_destroy_group() is called directly.

If the FAN_Q_OVERFLOW bit set in event->mask, the fanotify event
metadata will not contain a valid file descriptor, but
copy_event_to_user() didn't check for that, and unconditionally does a
fd_install() on the file descriptor.
Which in turn will cause a BUG_ON() in __fd_install().

copy_event_to_user()")

* do copy_to_user() before prepare_for_access_response(); that kills
the need in remove_access_response().
* don't do fd_install() until we are past the last possible failure
exit. Don't use sys_close() on cleanup side - just put_unused_fd()
and fput(). Less racy that way...

The fanotify_event_metadata now has a field which is supposed to
indicate the length of the metadata portion of the event. Fill in that

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.
[additional changelog from eparis]
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.

In mark_remove_from_mask() we destroy marks that have their event mask cleared.
Thus we should not allow the creation of those marks in the first place.
With this patch we check if the mask given from user is 0 in case of FAN_MARK_ADD.
If so we return an error. Same for FAN_MARK_REMOVE since this does not have any
effect.
