ab97f87325 fsnotify: convert fsnotify_mark.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t
atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference
counters with the following properties:
 - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set()
 - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero
 - once counter reaches zero, its further
   increments aren't allowed
 - counter schema uses basic atomic operations
   (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.)

Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided
refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows
and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows
can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable.

The variable fsnotify_mark.refcnt is used as pure reference counter.
Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations.

9a31d7ad99 fsnotify: fix pinning group in fsnotify_prepare_user_wait()
Blind increment of group's user_waits is not enough, we could be far enough
in the group's destruction that it isn't taken into account (i.e. grabbing
the mark ref afterwards doesn't guarantee that it was the ref coming from
the _group_ that was grabbed).

Instead we need to check (under lock) that the mark is still attached to
the group after having obtained a ref to the mark.  If not, skip it.

9cf90cef36 fsnotify: Protect bail out path of fsnotify_add_mark_locked() properly
When fsnotify_add_mark_locked() fails it cleans up the mark it was
adding. Since the mark is already visible in group's list, we should
protect update of mark->flags with mark->lock. I'm not aware of any real
issues this could cause (since we also hold group->mark_mutex) but
better be safe and obey locking rules properly.

abc77577a6 fsnotify: Provide framework for dropping SRCU lock in ->handle_event
fanotify wants to drop fsnotify_mark_srcu lock when waiting for response
from userspace so that the whole notification subsystem is not blocked
during that time. This patch provides a framework for safely getting
mark reference for a mark found in the object list which pins the mark
in that list. We can then drop fsnotify_mark_srcu, wait for userspace
response and then safely continue iteration of the object list once we
reaquire fsnotify_mark_srcu.

f09b04a03e fsnotify: Remove special handling of mark destruction on group shutdown
Currently we queue all marks for destruction on group shutdown and then
destroy them from fsnotify_destroy_group() instead from a worker thread
which is the usual path. However worker can already be processing some
list of marks to destroy so this does not make 100% all marks are really
destroyed by the time group is shut down. This isn't a big problem as
each mark holds group reference and thus group stays partially alive
until all marks are really freed but there's no point in complicating
our lives - just wait for the delayed work to be finished instead.

6b3f05d24d fsnotify: Detach mark from object list when last reference is dropped
Instead of removing mark from object list from fsnotify_detach_mark(),
remove the mark when last reference to the mark is dropped. This will
allow fanotify to wait for userspace response to event without having to
hold onto fsnotify_mark_srcu.

To avoid pinning inodes by elevated refcount (and thus e.g. delaying
file deletion) while someone holds mark reference, we detach connector
from the object also from fsnotify_destroy_marks() and not only after
removing last mark from the list as it was now.

11375145a7 fsnotify: Move queueing of mark for destruction into fsnotify_put_mark()
Currently we queue mark into a list of marks for destruction in
__fsnotify_free_mark() and keep the last mark reference dangling. After the
worker waits for SRCU period, it drops the last reference to the mark
which frees it. This scheme has the disadvantage that if we hold
reference to a mark and drop and reacquire SRCU lock, the mark can get
freed immediately which is slightly inconvenient and we will need to
avoid this in the future.

Move to a scheme where queueing of mark into a list of marks for
destruction happens when the last reference to the mark is dropped. Also
drop reference to the mark held by group list already when mark is
removed from that list instead of dropping it only from the destruction
worker.

Currently we free fsnotify_mark_connector structure only when inode /
vfsmount is getting freed. This can however impose noticeable memory
overhead when marks get attached to inodes only temporarily. So free the

Since notification infrastructure can be working with the connector

free the fsnotify_mark_connector only after SRCU period passes.

protected by i_lock or mnt_root->d_lock. This dictates that the list

simplifies the code quite a bit since we don't have to differentiate
between inode and vfsmount lists in quite a few places anymore.

73cd3c33ab fsnotify: Avoid double locking in fsnotify_detach_from_object()
We lock object list lock in fsnotify_detach_from_object() twice - once
to detach mark and second time to recalculate mask. That is unnecessary
and later it will become problematic as we will free the connector as
soon as there is no mark in it. So move recalculation of fsnotify mask
into the same critical section that is detaching mark.

This also removes recalculation of child dentry flags from
fsnotify_detach_from_object(). That is however fine. Those marks will
get recalculated once some event happens on a child.

9dd813c15b fsnotify: Move mark list head from object into dedicated structure
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.

35e481761c fsnotify: avoid spurious EMFILE errors from inotify_init()
Inotify instance is destroyed when all references to it are dropped.
That not only means that the corresponding file descriptor needs to be
closed but also that all corresponding instance marks are freed (as each
mark holds a reference to the inotify instance).  However marks are
freed only after SRCU period ends which can take some time and thus if
user rapidly creates and frees inotify instances, number of existing
inotify instances can exceed max_user_instances limit although from user
point of view there is always at most one existing instance.  Thus
inotify_init() returns EMFILE error which is hard to justify from user
point of view.  This problem is exposed by LTP inotify06 testcase on
some machines.

We fix the problem by making sure all group marks are properly freed
while destroying inotify instance.  We wait for SRCU period to end in
that path anyway since we have to make sure there is no event being
added to the instance while we are tearing down the instance.  So it
takes only some plumbing to allow for marks to be destroyed in that path
as well and not from a dedicated work item.

13d34ac6e5 Revert "fsnotify: destroy marks with call_srcu instead of dedicated thread"
This reverts commit c510eff6be ("fsnotify: destroy marks with
call_srcu instead of dedicated thread").

Eryu reported that he was seeing some OOM kills kick in when running a
testcase that adds and removes inotify marks on a file in a tight loop.

The above commit changed the code to use call_srcu to clean up the
marks.  While that does (in principle) work, the srcu callback job is
limited to cleaning up entries in small batches and only once per jiffy.
It's easily possible to overwhelm that machinery with too many call_srcu
callbacks, and Eryu's reproduer did just that.

There's also another potential problem with using call_srcu here.  While
you can obviously sleep while holding the srcu_read_lock, the callbacks
run under local_bh_disable, so you can't sleep there.

It's possible when putting the last reference to the fsnotify_mark that
we'll end up putting a chain of references including the fsnotify_group,
uid, and associated keys.  While I don't see any obvious ways that that
could occurs, it's probably still best to avoid using call_srcu here
after all.

This patch reverts the above patch.  A later patch will take a different
approach to eliminated the dedicated thread here.

c510eff6be fsnotify: destroy marks with call_srcu instead of dedicated thread
At the time that this code was originally written, call_srcu didn't

It does exist now however and we can much more efficiently use call_srcu

ensure that they are all of the callbacks have run before proceeding.
In order to conserve space, we union the rcu_head with the g_list.

This will be necessary for nfsd which will allocate marks from a
dedicated slabcache.  We have to be able to ensure that all of the
objects are destroyed before destroying the cache.  That's fairly

fsnotify_destroy_marks() so that when fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked()
drops mark_mutex, a mark from the list iterated by
fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group_flags() can be freed and thus the next
entry pointer we have cached may become stale and we dereference free
memory.

Fix the problem by first moving marks to free to a special private list
and then always free the first entry in the special list.  This method
is safe even when entries from the list can disappear once we drop the
lock.

d725e66c06 Revert "fsnotify: fix oops in fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group_flags()"
This reverts commit a2673b6e04.

Kinglong Mee reports a memory leak with that patch, and Jan Kara confirms:

 "Thanks for report! You are right that my patch introduces a race
  between fsnotify kthread and fsnotify_destroy_group() which can result
  in leaking inotify event on group destruction.

  I haven't yet decided whether the right fix is not to queue events for
  dying notification group (as that is pointless anyway) or whether we
  should just fix the original problem differently...  Whenever I look
  at fsnotify code mark handling I get lost in the maze of locks, lists,
  and subtle differences between how different notification systems
  handle notification marks :( I'll think about it over night"

and after thinking about it, Jan says:

 "OK, I have looked into the code some more and I found another
  relatively simple way of fixing the original oops.  It will be IMHO
  better than trying to fixup this issue which has more potential for
  breakage.  I'll ask Linus to revert the fsnotify fix he already merged
  and send a new fix"

a2673b6e04 fsnotify: fix oops in fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group_flags()
fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group_flags() can race with
fsnotify_destroy_marks() so when fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked() drops
mark_mutex, a mark from the list iterated by
fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group_flags() can be freed and we dereference free
memory in the loop there.

Fix the problem by keeping mark_mutex held in
fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked().  The reason why we drop that mutex is that
we need to call a ->freeing_mark() callback which may acquire mark_mutex
again.  To avoid this and similar lock inversion issues, we move the call
to ->freeing_mark() callback to the kthread destroying the mark.

37d469e767 fsnotify: remove destroy_list from fsnotify_mark
destroy_list is used to track marks which still need waiting for srcu
period end before they can be freed.  However by the time mark is added to
destroy_list it isn't in group's list of marks anymore and thus we can
reuse fsnotify_mark->g_list for queueing into destroy_list.  This saves
two pointers for each fsnotify_mark.

8edc6e1688 fanotify: fix notification of groups with inode & mount marks
fsnotify() needs to merge inode and mount marks lists when notifying
groups about events so that ignore masks from inode marks are reflected
in mount mark notifications and groups are notified in proper order
(according to priorities).

Currently the sorting of the lists done by fsnotify_add_inode_mark() /
fsnotify_add_vfsmount_mark() and fsnotify() differed which resulted
ignore masks not being used in some cases.

Fix the problem by always using the same comparison function when
sorting / merging the mark lists.

Thanks to Heinrich Schuchardt for improvements of my patch.

I tried to reproduce this bug with your test program, but without success.
However, if I understand correctly, this occurs since we dont hold any locks when
we call iput() in mark_destroy(), right?
With the patches you tested, iput() is also not called within any lock, since the
groups mark_mutex is released temporarily before iput() is called.  This is, since
the original codes behaviour is similar.
However since we now have a mutex as the biggest lock, we can do what you
suggested (http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-fsdevel/msg46107.html) and
call iput() with the mutex held to avoid the race.
The patch below implements this. It uses nested locking to avoid deadlock in case
we do the final iput() on an inode which still holds marks and thus would take
the mutex again when calling fsnotify_inode_delete() in destroy_inode().

In clear_marks_by_group_flags() the mark list of a group is iterated and the
marks are put on a temporary list.
Since we introduced fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked() we dont need the temp list
any more and are able to remove the marks while the mark list is iterated and
the mark list mutex is held.

23e964c284 fsnotify: use reference counting for groups
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().
