2015-09-05fsnotify: get rid of fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked()Jan Kara1-4/+10
fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked() is subtle to use because it temporarily releases group->mark_mutex. To avoid future problems with this function, split it into two. fsnotify_detach_mark() is the part that needs group->mark_mutex and fsnotify_free_mark() is the part that must be called outside of group->mark_mutex. This way it's much clearer what's going on and we also avoid some pointless acquisitions of group->mark_mutex.

2014-02-18inotify: Fix reporting of cookies for inotify eventsJan Kara1-1/+1
My rework of handling of notification events (namely commit 7053aee26a35 "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.

2014-01-22fsnotify: remove pointless NULL initializersJan Kara1-3/+0
We usually rely on the fact that struct members not specified in the initializer are set to NULL. So do that with fsnotify function pointers as well.

2014-01-22fsnotify: remove .should_send_event callbackJan Kara1-18/+4
After removing event structure creation from the generic layer there is no reason for separate .should_send_event and .handle_event callbacks. So just remove the first one.

2014-01-22fsnotify: do not share events between notification groupsJan Kara1-6/+5
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.

2010-07-28fanotify: use both marks when possibleEric Paris1-1/+1
fanotify currently, when given a vfsmount_mark will look up (if it exists) the corresponding inode mark. This patch drops that lookup and uses the mark provided. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fsnotify: pass both the vfsmount mark and inode markEric Paris1-7/+11
should_send_event() and handle_event() will both need to look up the inode event if they get a vfsmount event. Lets just pass both at the same time since we have them both after walking the lists in lockstep. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fsnotify: remove group->maskEric Paris1-4/+0
group->mask is now useless. It was originally a shortcut for fsnotify to save on performance. These checks are now redundant, so we remove them. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fsnotify: cleanup should_send_eventEric Paris1-10/+1
The change to use srcu and walk the object list rather than the global fsnotify_group list means that should_send_event is no longer needed for a number of groups and can be simplified for others. Do that. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28dnotify: use the mark in handler functionsEric Paris1-17/+5
dnotify now gets a mark in the should_send_event and handle_event functions. Rather than look up the mark themselves dnotify should just use the mark it was handed. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fsnotify: send fsnotify_mark to groups in event handling functionsEric Paris1-1/+3
With the change of fsnotify to use srcu walking the marks list instead of walking the global groups list we now know the mark in question. The code can send the mark to the group's handling functions and the groups won't have to find those marks themselves. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fsnotify: allow marks to not pin inodes in coreEric Paris1-1/+1
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.

2010-07-28fsnotify: split generic and inode specific mark codeEric Paris1-6/+6

2010-07-28fsnotify: put inode specific fields in an fsnotify_mark in a unionEric Paris1-2/+2

2010-07-28fsnotify: include vfsmount in should_send_event when appropriateEric Paris1-2/+2
To ensure that a group will not duplicate events when it receives it based on the vfsmount and the inode should_send_event test we should distinguish those two cases. We pass a vfsmount to this function so groups can make their own determinations. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

2010-07-28fsnotify: remove group_num altogetherEric Paris1-2/+1

2010-07-28fsnotify: include data in should_send callsEric Paris1-1/+1
fanotify is going to need to look at file->private_data to know if an event should be sent or not. This passes the data (which might be a file, dentry, inode, or none) to the should_send function calls so fanotify can get that information when available Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fsnotify: provide the data type to should_send_eventEric Paris1-1/+2
fanotify is only interested in event types which contain enough information to open the original file in the context of the fanotify listener. Since fanotify may not want to send events if that data isn't present we pass the data type to the should_send_event function call so fanotify can express its lack of interest.

2010-07-28fsnotify: allow addition of duplicate fsnotify marksEric Paris1-1/+1
This patch allows a task to add a second fsnotify mark to an inode for the same group. This mark will be added to the end of the inode's list and this will never be found by the stand fsnotify_find_mark() function. This is useful if a user wants to add a new mark before removing the old one. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2009-10-21dnotify: ignore FS_EVENT_ON_CHILDAndreas Gruenbacher1-1/+2
Mask off FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD in dnotify_handle_event().

2009-07-21fsnotify: use def_bool in kconfig instead of letting the user chooseEric Paris1-1/+1
fsnotify doens't give the user anything. If someone chooses inotify or dnotify it should build fsnotify, if they don't select one it shouldn't be built.
