Use helpers to get first and next marks from connector.
Also get rid of inode_node/vfsmount_node local variables, which just refers
to the same objects as iter_info. There was an srcu_dereference() for
foo_node, but that's completely superfluous since we've already done it
when obtaining foo_node.
Also get rid of inode_group/vfsmount_group local variables; checking
against non-NULL for these is the same as checking against non-NULL
inode_mark/vfsmount_mark.

take_dentry_name_snapshot() takes a safe snapshot of dentry name;
if the name is a short one, it gets copied into caller-supplied
structure, otherwise an extra reference to external name is grabbed
(those are never modified). In either case the pointer to stable
string is stored into the same structure.
dentry must be held by the caller of take_dentry_name_snapshot(),
but may be freely dropped afterwards - the snapshot will stay
until destroyed by release_dentry_name_snapshot().
Intended use:
struct name_snapshot s;
take_dentry_name_snapshot(&s, dentry);

release_dentry_name_snapshot(&s);

Currently we free fsnotify_mark_connector structure only when inode /

overhead when marks get attached to inodes only temporarily. So free the

Since notification infrastructure can be working with the connector

Currently notification marks are attached to object (inode or vfsmnt) by
a hlist_head in the object. The list is also protected by a spinlock in
the object. So while there is any mark attached to the list of marks,
the object must be pinned in memory (and thus e.g. last iput() deleting
inode cannot happen). Also for list iteration in fsnotify() to work, we
must hold fsnotify_mark_srcu lock so that mark itself and
mark->obj_list.next cannot get freed. Thus we are required to wait for
response to fanotify events from userspace process with
fsnotify_mark_srcu lock held. That causes issues when userspace process
is buggy and does not reply to some event - basically the whole
notification subsystem gets eventually stuck.
So to be able to drop fsnotify_mark_srcu lock while waiting for
response, we have to pin the mark in memory and make sure it stays in
the object list (as removing the mark waiting for response could lead to
lost notification events for groups later in the list). However we don't
want inode reclaim to block on such mark as that would lead to system
just locking up elsewhere.
This commit is the first in the series that paves way towards solving
these conflicting lifetime needs. Instead of anchoring the list of marks
directly in the object, we anchor it in a dedicated structure
(fsnotify_mark_connector) and just point to that structure from the
object. The following commits will also add spinlock protecting the list
and object pointer to the structure.

I have a _tiny_ microbenchmark that sits in a loop and writes single
bytes to a file. Writing one byte to a tmpfs file is around 2x slower
than reading one byte from a file, which is a _bit_ more than I expecte.
This is a dumb benchmark, but I think it's hard to deny that write() is
a hot path and we should avoid unnecessary overhead there.
I did a 'perf record' of 30-second samples of read and write. The top
item in a diffprofile is srcu_read_lock() from fsnotify(). There are
active inotify fd's from systemd, but nothing is actually listening to
the file or its part of the filesystem.
I *think* we can avoid taking the srcu_read_lock() for the common case
where there are no actual marks on the file. This means that there will
both be nothing to notify for *and* implies that there is no need for
clearing the ignore mask.
This patch gave a 13.1% speedup in writes/second on my test, which is an
improvement from the 10.8% that I saw with the last version.

fsnotify() needs to merge inode and mount marks lists when notifying

Currently the sorting of the lists done by fsnotify_add_inode_mark() /

ignore masks not being used in some cases.

sending of cookies with inotify events. We didn't propagate the value

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.

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
- Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

matches the event type. Maybe we could add an i_fsnotify_ignored_mask field
to struct inode to get the shortcut back, but it doesn't seem worth it to grow
struct inode again.
