The addition of marks on vfs mounts will be simplified if the inode
specific parts of a mark and the vfsmnt specific parts of a mark are
actually in a union so naming can be easy. This patch just implements the
inode struct and the union.

To ensure that a group will not duplicate events when it receives it based
on the vfsmount and the inode should_send_event test we should distinguish
those two cases. We pass a vfsmount to this function so groups can make
their own determinations.

fsnotify_obtain_group was intended to be able to find an already existing
group. Nothing uses that functionality. This just renames it to
fsnotify_alloc_group so it is clear what it is doing.

The original fsnotify interface has a group-num which was intended to be
able to find a group after it was added. I no longer think this is a
necessary thing to do and so we remove the group_num.

fanotify is going to need to look at file->private_data to know if an event
should be sent or not. This passes the data (which might be a file,
dentry, inode, or none) to the should_send function calls so fanotify can
get that information when available
Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
fanotify is only interested in event types which contain enough information
to open the original file in the context of the fanotify listener. Since
fanotify may not want to send events if that data isn't present we pass
the data type to the should_send_event function call so fanotify can express
its lack of interest.

This patch allows a task to add a second fsnotify mark to an inode for the
same group. This mark will be added to the end of the inode's list and
this will never be found by the stand fsnotify_find_mark() function. This
is useful if a user wants to add a new mark before removing the old one.

Most fsnotify listeners (all but inotify) do not care about marks being
freed. Allow groups to set freeing_mark to null and do not call any
function if it is set that way.

inotify and dnotify will both indicate that they want any event which came
from a child inode. The fix is to mask off FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD when deciding
if inotify or dnotify is interested in a given event.

entry->lock is needed to make sure entry->mask does not change while
manipulating it. In dnotify_should_send_event() we don't care if we get an
old or a new mask value out of this entry so there is no point it taking
the lock.

dnotify_should send event assigned a bool using ?true:false when computing
a bit operation. This is poitless and the bool type does this for us.

inotify needs per group information attached to events. This patch allows
groups to attach private information and implements a callback so that
information can be freed when an event is being destroyed.

Reimplement dnotify using fsnotify.

Creating a generic filesystem notification interface, fsnotify, which will be
used by inotify, dnotify, and eventually fanotify is really starting to
clutter the fs directory. This patch simply moves inotify and dnotify into
fs/notify/inotify and fs/notify/dnotify respectively to make both current fs/
and future notification tidier.
