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.

If the event queue overflows when we are handling permission event, we
will never get response from userspace. So we must avoid waiting for it.
Change fsnotify_add_notify_event() to return whether overflow has
happened so that we can detect it in fanotify_handle_event() and act
accordingly.

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 struct fanotify_event_info has been destroyed immediately
after reporting its contents to userspace. However that is wrong for
permission events because those need to stay around until userspace
provides response which is filled back in fanotify_event_info. So change
to code to free permission events only after we have got the response
from userspace.

The event returned from fsnotify_add_notify_event() cannot ever be used
safely as the event may be freed by the time the function returns (after
dropping notification_mutex). So change the prototype to just return
whether the event was added or merged into some existing event.

We cannot use the event structure returned from
fsnotify_add_notify_event() because that event can be freed by the time
that function returns. Use the mask argument passed into the event
handler directly instead. This also fixes a possible problem when we
could unnecessarily wait for permission response for a normal fanotify
event which got merged with a permission event.
We also disallow merging of permission event with any other event so
that we know the permission event which we just created is the one on
which we should wait for permission response.

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.

Boyd Yang reported a problem for the case that multiple threads of the same
thread group are waiting for a reponse for a permission event.
In this case it is possible that some of the threads are never woken up, even
if the response for the event has been received
(see http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=131822913806350&w=2).
The reason is that we are currently merging permission events if they belong to
the same thread group. But we are not prepared to wake up more than one waiter
for each event. We do
wait_event(group->fanotify_data.access_waitq, event->response ||
atomic_read(&group->fanotify_data.bypass_perm));
and after that
event->response = 0;
which is the reason that even if we woke up all waiters for the same event
some of them may see event->response being already set 0 again, then go back to
sleep and block forever.
With this patch we avoid that more than one thread is waiting for a response
by not merging permission events for the same thread group any more.

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.

If adding a mount or inode mark failed fanotify_free_mark() is called explicitly.
But at this time the mark has already been put into the destroy list of the
fsnotify_mark kernel thread. If the thread is too slow it will try to decrease
the reference of a mark, that has already been freed by fanotify_free_mark().
(If its fast enough it will only decrease the marks ref counter from 2 to 1 - note
that the counter has been increased to 2 in add_mark() - which has practically no
effect.)
This patch fixes the ref counting by not calling free_mark() explicitly, but
decreasing the ref counter and rely on the fsnotify_mark thread to cleanup in

fanotify has a very limited number of events it sends on directories. The
usefulness of these events is yet to be seen and still we send them. This
is particularly painful for mount marks where one might receive many of
these useless events. As such this patch will drop events on IS_DIR()
inodes unless they were explictly requested with FAN_ON_DIR.
This means that a mark on a directory without FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD or
FAN_ON_DIR is meaningless and will result in no events ever (although it
will still be allowed since detecting it is hard)

fanotify_should_send_event has a test to see if an object is a file or

Some fanotify groups, especially those like AV scanners, will need to place
lots of marks, particularly ignore marks. Since ignore marks do not pin
inodes in cache and are cleared if the inode is removed from core (usually
under memory pressure) we expose an interface for listeners, with
CAP_SYS_ADMIN, to override the maximum number of marks and be allowed to
set and 'unlimited' number of marks. Programs which make use of this
feature will be able to OOM a machine.
