  • Pull fsnotify updates from Jan Kara:
    "The branch contains mainly a rework of fsnotify infrastructure fixing
    a shortcoming that we have waited for response to fanotify permission
    events with SRCU read lock held and when the process consuming events
    was slow to respond the kernel has stalled.

    It also contains several cleanups of unnecessary indirections in
    fsnotify framework and a bugfix from Amir fixing leakage of kernel
    internal errno to userspace"

  • Pointer to ->free_mark callback unnecessarily occupies one long in each
    fsnotify_mark although they are the same for all marks from one
    notification group. Move the callback pointer to fsnotify_ops.

  • Currently we initialize mark->group only in fsnotify_add_mark_lock().
    However we will need to access fsnotify_ops of corresponding group from
    fsnotify_put_mark() so we need mark->group initialized earlier. Do that
    in fsnotify_init_mark() which has a consequence that once
    fsnotify_init_mark() is called on a mark, the mark has to be destroyed
    by fsnotify_put_mark().

  • Pass fsnotify_iter_info into ->handle_event() handler so that it can
    release and reacquire SRCU lock via fsnotify_prepare_user_wait() and
    fsnotify_finish_user_wait() functions. These functions also make sure
    current marks are appropriately pinned so that iteration protected by
    srcu in fsnotify() stays safe.

  • The AUDIT_CONFIG_CHANGE events sometimes use a op= field. The current
    code logs the value of the field with quotes. This field is documented
    to not be encoded, so it should not have quotes.

  • parallel to mutex_{lock,unlock,trylock,is_locked,lock_nested},
    inode_foo(inode) being mutex_foo(&inode->i_mutex).

    Please, use those for access to ->i_mutex; over the coming cycle
    ->i_mutex will become rwsem, with ->lookup() done with it held
    only shared.

  • This is to be used to audit by executable path rules, but audit watches should
    be able to share this code eventually.

    At the moment the audit watch code is a lot more complex. That code only
    creates one fsnotify watch per parent directory. That 'audit_parent' in
    turn has a list of 'audit_watches' which contain the name, ino, dev of
    the specific object we care about. This just creates one fsnotify watch
    per object we care about. So if you watch 100 inodes in /etc this code
    will create 100 fsnotify watches on /etc. The audit_watch code will
    instead create 1 fsnotify watch on /etc (the audit_parent) and then 100
    individual watches chained from that fsnotify mark.

    We should be able to convert the audit_watch code to do one fsnotify
    mark per watch and simplify things/remove a whole lot of code. After
    that conversion we should be able to convert the audit_fsnotify code to
    support that hierarchy if the optimization is necessary.

    Move the access to the entry for audit_match_signal() to the beginning of
    the audit_del_rule() function in case the entry found is the same one passed
    in. This will enable it to be used by audit_autoremove_mark_rule(),
    kill_rules() and audit_remove_parent_watches().

    This is a heavily modified and merged version of two patches originally
    submitted by Eric Paris.
