There is nothing known wrong with the inotify watch addition/modification
but this patch seperates the two code paths to make them each easy to
verify as correct.

The inotify_add_watch man page specifies that inotify_add_watch() will
return a non-negative integer. However, historically the inotify
watches started at 1, not at 0.
Turns out that the inotifywait program provided by the inotify-tools
package doesn't properly handle a 0 watch descriptor. In 7e790dd5 we
changed from starting at 1 to starting at 0. This patch starts at 1,
just like in previous kernels, but also just like in previous kernels
it's possible for it to wrap back to 0. This preserves the kernel
functionality exactly like it was before the patch (neither method broke
the spec)

inotify decides if private data it passed to get added to an event was
used by checking list_empty(). But it's possible that the event may
have been dequeued and the private event removed so it would look empty.
The fix is to use the return code from fsnotify_add_notify_event rather
than looking at the list.

Two things are needed to fix this. First we need a method to tell
fsnotify_create_event() to use GFP_NOFS and second we need to stop using
one global IN_IGNORED event and allocate them one at a time. This solves
current issues with multiple IN_IGNORED on a queue having tail drop
problems and simplifies the allocations since we don't have to worry about
two tasks opperating on the IGNORED event concurrently.

inotify_update_watch could leave things in a horrid state on a number of
error paths. We could try to remove idr entries that didn't exist, we
could send an IN_IGNORED to userspace for watches that don't exist, and a
bit of other stupidity. Clean these up by doing the idr addition before we
put the mark on the inode since we can clean that up on error and getting
off the inode's mark list is hard.

inotify_add_watch had a couple of problems. The biggest being that if
inotify_add_watch was called on the same inode twice (to update or change the
event mask) a refence was taken on the original inode mark by
fsnotify_find_mark_entry but was not being dropped at the end of the
inotify_add_watch call. Thus if inotify_rm_watch was called although the mark
was removed from the inode, the refcnt wouldn't hit zero and we would leak
memory.

The inotify rewrite forgot to drop the inotify watch use cound when a watch
was removed. This means that a single inotify fd can only ever register a
maximum of /proc/sys/fs/max_user_watches even if some of those had been
freed.

The per-user inotify_devs value is incremented each time a new file is
allocated, but never decremented. This led to inotify_init failing after a
limited number of calls.

inotify_destroy_mark_entry could get called twice for the same mark since it
is called directly in inotify_rm_watch and when the mark is being destroyed for
another reason. As an example assume that the file being watched was just
deleted so inotify_destroy_mark_entry would get called from the path
fsnotify_inoderemove() -> fsnotify_destroy_marks_by_inode() ->
fsnotify_destroy_mark_entry() -> inotify_destroy_mark_entry(). If this
happened at the same time as userspace tried to remove a watch via
inotify_rm_watch we could attempt to remove the mark from the idr twice and
could thus double dec the ref cnt and potentially could be in a use after
free/double free situation. The fix is to have inotify_rm_watch use the
generic recursive safe fsnotify_destroy_mark_by_entry() so we are sure the
inotify_destroy_mark_entry() function can only be called one.
This patch also renames the function to inotify_ingored_remove_idr() so it is
clear what is actually going on in the function.
Hopefully this fixes:

Reimplement inotify_user using fsnotify. This should be feature for feature
exactly the same as the original inotify_user. This does not make any changes
to the in kernel inotify feature used by audit. Those patches (and the eventual
removal of in kernel inotify) will come after the new inotify_user proves to be
working correctly.

There is what we believe to be a false positive reported by lockdep.
inotify_inode_queue_event() => take inotify_mutex => kernel_event() =>
kmalloc() => SLOB => alloc_pages_node() => page reclaim => slab reclaim =>
dcache reclaim => inotify_inode_is_dead => take inotify_mutex => deadlock
The plan is to fix this via lockdep annotation, but that is proving to be
quite involved.
The patch flips the allocation over to GFP_NFS to shut the warning up, for
the 2.6.30 release.
Hopefully we will fix this for real in 2.6.31. I'll queue a patch in -mm
to switch it back to GFP_KERNEL so we don't forget.

If userspace supplies an invalid pointer to a read() of an inotify
instance, the inotify device's event list mutex is unlocked twice.
This causes an unbalance which effectively leaves the data structure
unprotected, and we can trigger oopses by accessing the inotify
instance from different tasks concurrently.
The best fix (contributed largely by Linus) is a total rewrite
of the function in question:

The problems lie in the types used for some inotify interfaces, both at the kernel level and at the glibc level. This mail addresses the kernel problem. I will follow up with some suggestions for glibc changes.
For the sys_inotify_rm_watch() interface, the type of the 'wd' argument is
currently 'u32', it should be '__s32' . That is Robert's suggestion, and
is consistent with the other declarations of watch descriptors in the
kernel source, in particular, the inotify_event structure in
include/linux/inotify.h:
struct inotify_event {
__s32 wd; /* watch descriptor */
__u32 mask; /* watch mask */
__u32 cookie; /* cookie to synchronize two events */
__u32 len; /* length (including nulls) of name */
char name[0]; /* stub for possible name */
};
The patch makes the changes needed for inotify_rm_watch().

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.
