Rename fsnotify_add_notify_event() to fsnotify_add_event() since the
"notify" part is duplicit. Rename fsnotify_remove_notify_event() and
fsnotify_peek_notify_event() to fsnotify_remove_first_event() and
fsnotify_peek_first_event() respectively since "notify" part is duplicit
and they really look at the first event in the queue.

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.

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 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.

In inotify_new_watch() the number of watches for a group is compared
against the max number of allowed watches and increased afterwards. The
check and incrementation is not done atomically, so it is possible for
multiple concurrent threads to pass the check and increment the number
of marks above the allowed max.
This patch uses an inotify groups mark_lock to ensure that both check
and incrementation are done atomic. Furthermore we dont have to worry
about the race that allows a concurrent thread to add a watch just after
inotify_update_existing_watch() returned with -ENOENT anymore, since
this is also synchronized by the groups mark mutex now.

When we run the crackerjack testsuite, the inotify_add_watch test is
stalled.
This is caused by the invalid mask 0 - the task is waiting for the event
but it never comes. inotify_add_watch() should return -EINVAL as it did
before commit 676a0675cf ("inotify: remove broken mask checks causing
unmount to be EINVAL"). That commit removes the invalid mask check, but
that check is needed.
Check the mask's ALL_INOTIFY_BITS before the inotify_arg_to_mask() call.
If none are set, just return -EINVAL.
Because IN_UNMOUNT is in ALL_INOTIFY_BITS, this change will not trigger
the problem that above commit fixed.

Running the command:
inotifywait -e unmount /mnt/disk
immediately aborts with a -EINVAL return code. This is however a valid
parameter. This abort occurs only if unmount is the sole event
parameter. If other event parameters are supplied, then the unmount
event wait will work.
The problem was introduced by commit 44b350fc23 ("inotify: Fix mask
checks"). In that commit, it states:
The mask checks in inotify_update_existing_watch() and
inotify_new_watch() are useless because inotify_arg_to_mask()
sets FS_IN_IGNORED and FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD bits anyway.
But instead of removing the useless checks, it did this:
mask = inotify_arg_to_mask(arg);
- if (unlikely(!mask))
+ if (unlikely(!(mask & IN_ALL_EVENTS)))
return -EINVAL;
The problem is that IN_ALL_EVENTS doesn't include IN_UNMOUNT, and other
parts of the code keep IN_UNMOUNT separate from IN_ALL_EVENTS. So the
check should be:
if (unlikely(!(mask & (IN_ALL_EVENTS | IN_UNMOUNT))))
But inotify_arg_to_mask(arg) always sets the IN_UNMOUNT bit in the mask
anyway, so the check is always going to pass and thus should simply be
removed. Also note that inotify_arg_to_mask completely controls what
mask bits get set from arg, there's no way for invalid bits to get
enabled there.
Lets fix it by simply removing the useless broken checks.

Get a group ref for each mark that is added to the groups list and release that
ref when the mark is freed in fsnotify_put_mark().
We also use get a group reference for duplicated marks and for private event
data.
Now we dont free a group any more when the number of marks becomes 0 but when
the groups ref count does. Since this will only happen when all marks are removed
from a groups mark list, we dont have to set the groups number of marks to 1 at
group creation.
Beside clearing all marks in fsnotify_destroy_group() we do also flush the
groups event queue. This is since events may hold references to groups (due to
private event data) and we have to put those references first before we get a
chance to put the final ref, which will result in a call to
fsnotify_final_destroy_group().

always results in a call to fsnotify_destroy_group().

On an error path in inotify_init1 a normal user can trigger a double
free of struct user. This is a regression introduced by a2ae4cc9a1
("inotify: stop kernel memory leak on file creation failure").
We fix this by making sure that if a group exists the user reference is
dropped when the group is cleaned up. We should not explictly drop the
reference on error and also drop the reference when the group is cleaned
up.
The new lifetime rules are that an inotify group lives from
inotify_new_group to the last fsnotify_put_group. Since the struct user
and inotify_devs are directly tied to this lifetime they are only
changed/updated in those two locations. We get rid of all special
casing of struct user or user->inotify_devs.

All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.
The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.
The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

Each group can define their own notification (and secondary_q) merge

can actually allocate a completely new event. But for fanotify to properly
deal with permissions events it needs to know the new event which was
ultimately added to the notification queue. This patch just implements a
void ** argument which is passed to the merge function. fanotify can use

for fanotify to properly deal with permissions events
inotify marks must pin inodes in core. dnotify doesn't technically need to
since they are closed when the directory is closed. fanotify also need to
pin inodes in core as it works today. But the next step is to introduce
the concept of 'ignored masks' which is actually a mask of events for an
inode of no interest. I claim that these should be liberally sent to the
kernel and should not pin the inode in core. If the inode is brought back
in the listener will get an event it may have thought excluded, but this is
not a serious situation and one any listener should deal with.
This patch lays the ground work for non-pinning inode marks by using lazy
inode pinning. We do not pin a mark until it has a non-zero mask entry. If a
listener new sets a mask we never pin the inode.

currently all marking is done by functions in inode-mark.c. Some of this
is pretty generic and should be instead done in a generic function and we
should only put the inode specific code in inode-mark.c

All callers to fsnotify_find_mark_entry() except one take and
release inode->i_lock around the call. Take the lock inside
fsnotify_find_mark_entry() instead.

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.

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.

inotify only wishes to merge a new event with the last event on the
notification fifo. fanotify is willing to merge any events including by
means of bitwise OR masks of multiple events together. This patch moves
the inotify event merging logic out of the generic fsnotify notification.c
and into the inotify code. This allows each use of fsnotify to provide
their own merge functionality.

inotify was supposed to have a dmesg printk ratelimitor which would cause
inotify to only emit one message per boot. The static bool was never set
so it kept firing messages. This patch correctly limits warnings in multiple
places.

Prior to 2.6.31 inotify would not reuse watch descriptors until all of
them had been used at least once. After the rewrite inotify would reuse
watch descriptors. The selinux utility 'restorecond' was found to have
problems when watch descriptors were reused. This patch reverts to the
pre inotify rewrite behavior to not reuse watch descriptors.

inotify_free_mark casts directly from an fsnotify_mark_entry to an
inotify_inode_mark_entry. This works, but should use container_of instead
for future proofing.
