fsnotify: assert that file_start_write() is not held in permission hooks filesystem may be modified in the context of fanotify permission events (e.g. by HSM service), so assert that sb freeze protection is not held. If the assertion fails, then the following deadlock would be possible: CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- file_start_write()#0 ... fsnotify_perm() fanotify_get_response() => (read event and fill file) ... ... freeze_super() ... sb_wait_write() ... vfs_write() file_start_write()#1 This example demonstrates a use case of an hierarchical storage management (HSM) service that uses fanotify permission events to fill the content of a file before access, while a 3rd process starts fsfreeze. This creates a circular dependeny: file_start_write()#0 => fanotify_get_response => file_start_write()#1 => sb_wait_write() => file_end_write()#0 Where file_end_write()#0 can never be called and none of the threads can make progress. The assertion is checked for both MAY_READ and MAY_WRITE permission hooks in preparation for a pre-modify permission event. The assertion is not checked for an open permission event, because do_open() takes mnt_want_write() in O_TRUNC case, meaning that it is not safe to write to filesystem in the content of an open permission event.

fs: store real path instead of fake path in backing file f_path A backing file struct stores two path's, one "real" path that is referring to f_inode and one "fake" path, which should be displayed to users in /proc/<pid>/maps. There is a lot more potential code that needs to know the "real" path, then code that needs to know the "fake" path. Instead of code having to request the "real" path with file_real_path(), store the "real" path in f_path and require code that needs to know the "fake" path request it with file_user_path(). Replace the file_real_path() helper with a simple const accessor f_path(). After this change, file_dentry() is not expected to observe any files with overlayfs f_path and real f_inode, so the call to ->d_real() should not be needed. Leave the ->d_real() call for now and add an assertion in ovl_d_real() to catch if we made wrong assumptions.

ovl: enable fsnotify events on underlying real files Overlayfs creates the real underlying files with fake f_path, whose f_inode is on the underlying fs and f_path on overlayfs. Those real files were open with FMODE_NONOTIFY, because fsnotify code was not prapared to handle fsnotify hooks on files with fake path correctly and fanotify would report unexpected event->fd with fake overlayfs path, when the underlying fs was being watched. Teach fsnotify to handle events on the real files, and do not set real files to FMODE_NONOTIFY to allow operations on real file (e.g. open, access, modify, close) to generate async and permission events. Because fsnotify does not have notifications on address space operations, we do not need to worry about ->vm_file not reporting events to a watched overlayfs when users are accessing a mapped overlayfs file.

fsnotify: invalidate dcache before IN_DELETE event Apparently, there are some applications that use IN_DELETE event as an invalidation mechanism and expect that if they try to open a file with the name reported with the delete event, that it should not contain the content of the deleted file. Commit 49246466a989 ("fsnotify: move fsnotify_nameremove() hook out of d_delete()") moved the fsnotify delete hook before d_delete() so fsnotify will have access to a positive dentry. This allowed a race where opening the deleted file via cached dentry is now possible after receiving the IN_DELETE event. To fix the regression, create a new hook fsnotify_delete() that takes the unlinked inode as an argument and use a helper d_delete_notify() to pin the inode, so we can pass it to fsnotify_delete() after d_delete(). Backporting hint: this regression is from v5.3. Although patch will apply with only trivial conflicts to v5.4 and v5.10, it won't build, because fsnotify_delete() implementation is different in each of those versions (see fsnotify_link()). A follow up patch will fix the fsnotify_unlink/rmdir() calls in pseudo filesystem that do not need to call d_delete().

fsnotify: generate FS_RENAME event with rich information The dnotify FS_DN_RENAME event is used to request notification about a move within the same parent directory and was always coupled with the FS_MOVED_FROM event. Rename the FS_DN_RENAME event flag to FS_RENAME, decouple it from FS_MOVED_FROM and report it with the moved dentry instead of the moved inode, so it has the information about both old and new parent and name. Generate the FS_RENAME event regardless of same parent dir and apply the "same parent" rule in the generic fsnotify_handle_event() helper that is used to call backends with ->handle_inode_event() method (i.e. dnotify). The ->handle_inode_event() method is not rich enough to report both old and new parent and name anyway. The enriched event is reported to fanotify over the ->handle_event() method with the old and new dir inode marks in marks array slots for ITER_TYPE_INODE and a new iter type slot ITER_TYPE_INODE2. The enriched event will be used for reporting old and new parent+name to fanotify groups with FAN_RENAME events.

fsnotify: pass dentry instead of inode data Define a new data type to pass for event - FSNOTIFY_EVENT_DENTRY. Use it to pass the dentry instead of it's ->d_inode where available. This is needed in preparation to the refactor to retrieve the super block from the data field. In some cases (i.e. mkdir in kernfs), the data inode comes from a negative dentry, such that no super block information would be available. By receiving the dentry itself, instead of the inode, fsnotify can derive the super block even on these cases.

fsnotify: send event with parent/name info to sb/mount/non-dir marks Similar to events "on child" to watching directory, send event with parent/name info if sb/mount/non-dir marks are interested in parent/name info. The FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD flag can be set on sb/mount/non-dir marks to specify interest in parent/name info for events on non-directory inodes. Events on "orphan" children (disconnected dentries) are sent without parent/name info. Events on directories are sent with parent/name info only if the parent directory is watching. After this change, even groups that do not subscribe to events on children could get an event with mark iterator type TYPE_CHILD and without mark iterator type TYPE_INODE if fanotify has marks on the same objects. dnotify and inotify event handlers can already cope with that situation. audit does not subscribe to events that are possible on child, so won't get to this situation. nfsd does not access the marks iterator from its event handler at the moment, so it is not affected. This is a bit too fragile, so we should prepare all groups to cope with mark type TYPE_CHILD preferably using a generic helper.

fsnotify: Rearrange fast path to minimise overhead when there is no watcher The fsnotify paths are trivial to hit even when there are no watchers and they are surprisingly expensive. For example, every successful vfs_write() hits fsnotify_modify which calls both fsnotify_parent and fsnotify unless FMODE_NONOTIFY is set which is an internal flag invisible to userspace. As it stands, fsnotify_parent is a guaranteed functional call even if there are no watchers and fsnotify() does a substantial amount of unnecessary work before it checks if there are any watchers. A perf profile showed that applying mnt->mnt_fsnotify_mask in fnotify() was almost half of the total samples taken in that function during a test. This patch rearranges the fast paths to reduce the amount of work done when there are no watchers. The test motivating this was "perf bench sched messaging --pipe". Despite the fact the pipes are anonymous, fsnotify is still called a lot and the overhead is noticeable even though it's completely pointless. It's likely the overhead is negligible for real IO so this is an extreme example. This is a comparison of hackbench using processes and pipes on a 1-socket machine with 8 CPU threads without fanotify watchers. 5.7.0 5.7.0 vanilla fastfsnotify-v1r1 Amean 1 0.4837 ( 0.00%) 0.4630 * 4.27%* Amean 3 1.5447 ( 0.00%) 1.4557 ( 5.76%) Amean 5 2.6037 ( 0.00%) 2.4363 ( 6.43%) Amean 7 3.5987 ( 0.00%) 3.4757 ( 3.42%) Amean 12 5.8267 ( 0.00%) 5.6983 ( 2.20%) Amean 18 8.4400 ( 0.00%) 8.1327 ( 3.64%) Amean 24 11.0187 ( 0.00%) 10.0290 * 8.98%* Amean 30 13.1013 ( 0.00%) 12.8510 ( 1.91%) Amean 32 13.9190 ( 0.00%) 13.2410 ( 4.87%) 5.7.0 5.7.0 vanilla fastfsnotify-v1r1 Duration User 157.05 152.79 Duration System 1279.98 1219.32 Duration Elapsed 182.81 174.52 This is showing that the latencies are improved by roughly 2-9%. The variability is not shown but some of these results are within the noise as this workload heavily overloads the machine. That said, the system CPU usage is reduced by quite a bit so it makes sense to avoid the overhead even if it is a bit tricky to detect at times. A perf profile of just 1 group of tasks showed that 5.14% of samples taken were in either fsnotify() or fsnotify_parent(). With the patch, 2.8% of samples were in fsnotify, mostly function entry and the initial check for watchers. The check for watchers is complicated enough that inlining it may be controversial.

fanotify: send FAN_DIR_MODIFY event flavor with dir inode and name Dirent events are going to be supported in two flavors: 1. Directory fid info + mask that includes the specific event types (e.g. FAN_CREATE) and an optional FAN_ONDIR flag. 2. Directory fid info + name + mask that includes only FAN_DIR_MODIFY. To request the second event flavor, user needs to set the event type FAN_DIR_MODIFY in the mark mask. The first flavor is supported since kernel v5.1 for groups initialized with flag FAN_REPORT_FID. It is intended to be used for watching directories in "batch mode" - the watcher is notified when directory is changed and re-scans the directory content in response. This event flavor is stored more compactly in the event queue, so it is optimal for workloads with frequent directory changes. The second event flavor is intended to be used for watching large directories, where the cost of re-scan of the directory on every change is considered too high. The watcher getting the event with the directory fid and entry name is expected to call fstatat(2) to query the content of the entry after the change. Legacy inotify events are reported with name and event mask (e.g. "foo", FAN_CREATE | FAN_ONDIR). That can lead users to the conclusion that there is *currently* an entry "foo" that is a sub-directory, when in fact "foo" may be negative or non-dir by the time user gets the event. To make it clear that the current state of the named entry is unknown, when reporting an event with name info, fanotify obfuscates the specific event types (e.g. create,delete,rename) and uses a common event type - FAN_DIR_MODIFY to describe the change. This should make it harder for users to make wrong assumptions and write buggy filesystem monitors. At this point, name info reporting is not yet implemented, so trying to set FAN_DIR_MODIFY in mark mask will return -EINVAL.

Now we can move the fsnotify_nameremove() call from d_delete() to the fsnotify_{unlink,rmdir}() hooks. Two explicit calls to fsnotify_nameremove() from nfs/afs sillyrename are also removed. This will cause a change of behavior - nfs/afs will NOT generate an fsnotify delete event when renaming over a positive dentry. This change is desirable, because it is consistent with the behavior of all other filesystems. Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

fsnotify: add empty fsnotify_{unlink,rmdir}() hooks We would like to move fsnotify_nameremove() calls from d_delete() into a higher layer where the hook makes more sense and so we can consider every d_delete() call site individually. Start by creating empty hook fsnotify_{unlink,rmdir}() and place them in the proper VFS call sites. After all d_delete() call sites will be converted to use the new hook, the new hook will generate the delete events and fsnotify_nameremove() hook will be removed.

fsnotify(): switch to passing const struct qstr * for file_name Note that in fnsotify_move() and fsnotify_link() we are guaranteed that dentry->d_name won't change during the fsnotify() evaluation (by having the parent directory locked exclusive), so we don't need to fetch dentry->d_name.name in the callers. In fsnotify_dirent() the same stability of dentry->d_name is also true, but it's a bit more convoluted - there is one callchain (devpts_pty_new() -> fsnotify_create() -> fsnotify_dirent()) where the parent is _not_ locked, but on devpts ->d_name of everything is unchanging; it has neither explicit nor implicit renames.

fsnotify: report FS_ISDIR flag with MOVE_SELF and DELETE_SELF events We need to report FS_ISDIR flag with MOVE_SELF and DELETE_SELF events for fanotify, because fanotify API requires the user to explicitly request events on directories by FAN_ONDIR flag. inotify never reported IN_ISDIR with those events. It looks like an oversight, but to avoid the risk of breaking existing inotify programs, mask the FS_ISDIR flag out when reprting those events to inotify backend. We also add the FS_ISDIR flag with FS_ATTRIB event in the case of rename over an empty target directory. inotify did not report IN_ISDIR in this case, but it normally does report IN_ISDIR along with IN_ATTRIB event, so in this case, we do not mask out the FS_ISDIR flag.

fsnotify: annotate directory entry modification events "dirent" events are referring to events that modify directory entries, such as create,delete,rename. Those events should always be reported on a watched directory, regardless if FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD is set on the watch mask. fsnotify_nameremove() and fsnotify_move() were modified to no longer set the FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD event bit. This is a semantic change to align with the "dirent" event definition. It has no effect on any existing backend, because dnotify, inotify and audit always requets the child events and fanotify does not get the delete,rename events. The fsnotify_dirent() helper is used instead of fsnotify_parent() to report a dirent event to dentry->d_parent without FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD and regardless if parent has the FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD bit set. Unlike fsnotify_parent(), fsnotify_dirent() assumes that dentry->d_name and dentry->d_parent are stable. For fsnotify_create()/fsnotify_mkdir(), this assumption is abviously correct. For fsnotify_nameremove(), it is less trivial, so we use dget_parent() and take_dentry_name_snapshot() to grab stable references.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

dentry name snapshots take_dentry_name_snapshot() takes a safe snapshot of dentry name; if the name is a short one, it gets copied into caller-supplied structure, otherwise an extra reference to external name is grabbed (those are never modified). In either case the pointer to stable string is stored into the same structure. dentry must be held by the caller of take_dentry_name_snapshot(), but may be freely dropped afterwards - the snapshot will stay until destroyed by release_dentry_name_snapshot(). Intended use: struct name_snapshot s; take_dentry_name_snapshot(&s, dentry); ... access s.name ... release_dentry_name_snapshot(&s); Replaces fsnotify_oldname_...(), gets used in fsnotify to obtain the name to pass down with event.

fsnotify: support overlayfs When an event occurs direct it to the overlay inode instead of the real underlying inode. This will work even if the file was first on the lower layer and then copied up, while the watch is there. This is because the watch is on the overlay inode, which stays the same through the copy-up. For filesystems other than overlayfs this is a no-op, except for the performance impact of an extra pointer dereferece. Verified to work correctly with the inotify/fanotify tests in LTP.

fsnotify: fix handling of renames in audit Commit e9fd702a58c4 ("audit: convert audit watches to use fsnotify instead of inotify") broke handling of renames in audit. Audit code wants to update inode number of an inode corresponding to watched name in a directory. When something gets renamed into a directory to a watched name, inotify previously passed moved inode to audit code however new fsnotify code passes directory inode where the change happened. That confuses audit and it starts watching parent directory instead of a file in a directory. This can be observed for example by doing: cd /tmp touch foo bar auditctl -w /tmp/foo touch foo mv bar foo touch foo In audit log we see events like: type=CONFIG_CHANGE msg=audit(1423563584.155:90): auid=1000 ses=2 op="updated rules" path="/tmp/foo" key=(null) list=4 res=1 ... type=PATH msg=audit(1423563584.155:91): item=2 name="bar" inode=1046884 dev=08:0 2 mode=0100644 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 nametype=DELETE type=PATH msg=audit(1423563584.155:91): item=3 name="foo" inode=1046842 dev=08:0 2 mode=0100644 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 nametype=DELETE type=PATH msg=audit(1423563584.155:91): item=4 name="foo" inode=1046884 dev=08:0 2 mode=0100644 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 nametype=CREATE ... and that's it - we see event for the first touch after creating the audit rule, we see events for rename but we don't see any event for the last touch. However we start seeing events for unrelated stuff happening in /tmp. Fix the problem by passing moved inode as data in the FS_MOVED_FROM and FS_MOVED_TO events instead of the directory where the change happens. This doesn't introduce any new problems because noone besides audit_watch.c cares about the passed value: fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify.c cares only about FSNOTIFY_EVENT_PATH events. fs/notify/dnotify/dnotify.c doesn't care about passed 'data' value at all. fs/notify/inotify/inotify_fsnotify.c uses 'data' only for FSNOTIFY_EVENT_PATH. kernel/audit_tree.c doesn't care about passed 'data' at all. kernel/audit_watch.c expects moved inode as 'data'.

fsnotify: new fsnotify hooks and events types for access decisions introduce a new fsnotify hook, fsnotify_perm(), which is called from the security code. This hook is used to allow fsnotify groups to make access control decisions about events on the system. We also must change the generic fsnotify function to return an error code if we intend these hooks to be in any way useful. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

vfs: introduce FMODE_NONOTIFY This is a new f_mode which can only be set by the kernel. It indicates that the fd was opened by fanotify and should not cause future fanotify events. This is needed to prevent fanotify livelock. An example of obvious livelock is from fanotify close events. Process A closes file1 This creates a close event for file1. fanotify opens file1 for Listener X Listener X deals with the event and closes its fd for file1. This creates a close event for file1. fanotify opens file1 for Listener X Listener X deals with the event and closes its fd for file1. This creates a close event for file1. fanotify opens file1 for Listener X Listener X deals with the event and closes its fd for file1. notice a pattern? The fix is to add the FMODE_NONOTIFY bit to the open filp done by the kernel for fanotify. Thus when that file is used it will not generate future events. This patch simply defines the bit.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

(see __fsnotify_parent) However, the semantics of fsnotify_move() are such that we deliver events directly to the two parent directories in question (old_dir and new_dir) directly without using the __fsnotify_parent() call. fsnotify should be adding FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD for the notifications to these parents.

fsnotify: add marks to inodes so groups can interpret how to handle those inodes This patch creates a way for fsnotify groups to attach marks to inodes. These marks have little meaning to the generic fsnotify infrastructure and thus their meaning should be interpreted by the group that attached them to the inode's list. dnotify and inotify will make use of these markings to indicate which inodes are of interest to their respective groups. But this implementation has the useful property that in the future other listeners could actually use the marks for the exact opposite reason, aka to indicate which inodes it had NO interest in.

fsnotify: unified filesystem notification backend fsnotify is a backend for filesystem notification. fsnotify does not provide any userspace interface but does provide the basis needed for other notification schemes such as dnotify. fsnotify can be extended to be the backend for inotify or the upcoming fanotify. fsnotify provides a mechanism for "groups" to register for some set of filesystem events and to then deliver those events to those groups for processing. fsnotify has a number of benefits, the first being actually shrinking the size of an inode. Before fsnotify to support both dnotify and inotify an inode had unsigned long i_dnotify_mask; /* Directory notify events */ struct dnotify_struct *i_dnotify; /* for directory notifications */ struct list_head inotify_watches; /* watches on this inode */ struct mutex inotify_mutex; /* protects the watches list But with fsnotify this same functionallity (and more) is done with just __u32 i_fsnotify_mask; /* all events for this inode */ struct hlist_head i_fsnotify_mark_entries; /* marks on this inode */ That's right, inotify, dnotify, and fanotify all in 64 bits. We used that much space just in inotify_watches alone, before this patch set. fsnotify object lifetime and locking is MUCH better than what we have today. inotify locking is incredibly complex. See 8f7b0ba1c8539 as an example of what's been busted since inception. inotify needs to know internal semantics of superblock destruction and unmounting to function. The inode pinning and vfs contortions are horrible. no fsnotify implementers do allocation under locks. This means things like f04b30de3 which (due to an overabundance of caution) changes GFP_KERNEL to GFP_NOFS can be reverted. There are no longer any allocation rules when using or implementing your own fsnotify listener. fsnotify paves the way for fanotify. In brief fanotify is a notification mechanism that delivers the lisener both an 'event' and an open file descriptor to the object in question. This means that fanotify is pathname agnostic. Some on lkml may not care for the original companies or users that pushed for TALPA, but fanotify was designed with flexibility and input for other users in mind. The readahead group expressed interest in fanotify as it could be used to profile disk access on boot without breaking the audit system. The desktop search groups have also expressed interest in fanotify as it solves a number of the race conditions and problems present with managing inotify when more than a limited number of specific files are of interest. fanotify can provide for a userspace access control system which makes it a clean interface for AV vendors to hook without trying to do binary patching on the syscall table, LSM, and everywhere else they do their things today. With this patch series fanotify can be implemented in less than 1200 lines of easy to review code. Almost all of which is the socket based user interface. This patch series builds fsnotify to the point that it can implement dnotify and inotify_user. Patches exist and will be sent soon after acceptance to finish the in kernel inotify conversion (audit) and implement fanotify.

inotify: send IN_ATTRIB events when link count changes Currently, no notification event has been sent when inode's link count changed. This is inconvenient for the application in some cases: Suppose you have the following directory structure foo/test bar/ and you watch test. If someone does "mv foo/test bar/", you get event IN_MOVE_SELF and you know something has happened with the file "test". However if someone does "ln foo/test bar/test" and "rm foo/test" you get no inotify event for the file "test" (only directories "foo" and "bar" receive events). Furthermore it could be argued that link count belongs to file's metadata and thus IN_ATTRIB should be sent when it changes. The following patch implements sending of IN_ATTRIB inotify events when link count of the inode changes, i.e., when a hardlink to the inode is created or when it is removed. This event is sent in addition to all the events sent so far. In particular, when a last link to a file is removed, IN_ATTRIB event is sent in addition to IN_DELETE_SELF event.

[PATCH] inotify: lock avoidance with parent watch status in dentry Previous inotify work avoidance is good when inotify is completely unused, but it breaks down if even a single watch is in place anywhere in the system. Robin Holt notices that udev is one such culprit - it slows down a 512-thread application on a 512 CPU system from 6 seconds to 22 minutes. Solve this by adding a flag in the dentry that tells inotify whether or not its parent inode has a watch on it. Event queueing to parent will skip taking locks if this flag is cleared. Setting and clearing of this flag on all child dentries versus event delivery: this is no in terms of race cases, and that was shown to be equivalent to always performing the check. The essential behaviour is that activity occuring _after_ a watch has been added and _before_ it has been removed, will generate events.

It represents part of the functionality that was provided by the auditfs patch included in RHEL4. Specifically, it: - Collects information for target inodes created or removed during syscalls. Previous code only collects information for the target inode's parent. - Adds the audit_inode() hook to syscalls that operate on a file descriptor (e.g. fchown), enabling audit to do inode filtering for these calls. - Modifies filtering code to check audit context for either an inode # or a parent inode # matching a given rule. - Modifies logging to provide inode # for both parent and child. - Protect debug info from NULL audit_names.name.

This not only more closely matches how the VFS layer works, it also avoids the problem with locking and inode lifetimes. The two functions are - fsnotify_nameremove -- called when a directory entry is going away. It notifies the PARENT of the deletion. This is called from d_delete(). - inoderemove -- called when the files inode itself is going away. It notifies the inode that is being deleted. This is called from dentry_iput().

[PATCH] Clean up inotify delete race fix This avoids the whole #ifdef mess by just getting a copy of dentry->d_inode before d_delete is called - that makes the codepaths the same for the INOTIFY/DNOTIFY cases as for the regular no-notify case. I've been running this under a Gnome session for the last 10 minutes. Inotify is being used extensively.

[PATCH] inotify: fix file deletion by rename detection When a file is moved over an existing file that you are watching, inotify won't send you a DELETE_SELF event and it won't unref the inode until the inotify instance is closed by the application.

[PATCH] inotify inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly its inability to scale and its terrible user interface: * dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount. * dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of stat structures. * dnotify's interface to user-space is awful. Signals? inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change notification: * inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO. You get a single fd, which is select()-able. * inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item you were watching is on was unmounted." * inotify can watch directories or files. Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure), Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects. See Documentation/filesystems/inotify.txt.
