Pull filesystem notification updates from Eric Paris:
"This pull mostly is about locking changes in the fsnotify system. By
switching the group lock from a spin_lock() to a mutex() we can now
hold the lock across things like iput(). This fixes a problem
involving unmounting a fs and having inodes be busy, first pointed out
by FAT, but reproducible with tmpfs.
This also restores signal driven I/O for inotify, which has been
broken since about 2.6.32."
Ugh. I *hate* the timing of this. It was rebased after the merge
window opened, and then left to sit with the pull request coming the day
before the merge window closes. That's just crap. But apparently the
patches themselves have been around for over a year, just gathering
dust, so now it's suddenly critical.
Fixed up semantic conflict in fs/notify/fdinfo.c as per Stephen
Rothwell's fixes from -next.

We were mistakenly returning EINTR when we found an outstanding signal.
Instead we should returen ERESTARTSYS and allow the kernel to handle
things the right way.

In inotify_ignored_and_remove_idr() the removal of a watch descriptor is skipped
if the allocation of an ignored event failed and we are leaking memory (the
watch descriptor and the mark linked to it).
This patch ensures that the watch descriptor is removed regardless of whether
event creation failed or not.

Boyd Yang reported a problem for the case that multiple threads of the same
thread group are waiting for a reponse for a permission event.
In this case it is possible that some of the threads are never woken up, even
if the response for the event has been received
(see http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=131822913806350&w=2).
The reason is that we are currently merging permission events if they belong to
the same thread group. But we are not prepared to wake up more than one waiter
for each event. We do
wait_event(group->fanotify_data.access_waitq, event->response ||
atomic_read(&group->fanotify_data.bypass_perm));
and after that
event->response = 0;
which is the reason that even if we woke up all waiters for the same event
some of them may see event->response being already set 0 again, then go back to
sleep and block forever.
With this patch we avoid that more than one thread is waiting for a response
by not merging permission events for the same thread group any more.

inotify is supposed to support async signal notification when information
is available on the inotify fd. This patch moves that support to generic
fsnotify functions so it can be used by all notification mechanisms.

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.

This patch introduces fsnotify_add_mark_locked() and fsnotify_remove_mark_locked()
which are essentially the same as fsnotify_add_mark() and fsnotify_remove_mark() but
assume that the caller has already taken the groups mark mutex.

Replaces the groups mark_lock spinlock with a mutex. Using a mutex instead
of a spinlock results in more flexibility (i.e it allows to sleep while the
lock is held).

This patch adds an extra flag to mark_remove_from_mask() to inform the caller if
the mark should be destroyed.
With this we dont destroy the mark implicitly in the function itself any more
but let the caller handle it.

Race-free addition and removal of a mark to a groups mark list would be easier
if we could lock the mark list of group before we lock the specific mark.
This patch changes the order used to add/remove marks to/from mark lists from
1. mark->lock
2. group->mark_lock
3. inode->i_lock
to
1. group->mark_lock
2. mark->lock
3. inode->i_lock

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().

Introduce fsnotify_get_group() which increments the reference counter of a group.

Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
Currently in fsnotify_put_group() the ref count of a group is decremented and if
it becomes 0 fsnotify_destroy_group() is called. Since a groups ref count is only
at group creation set to 1 and never increased after that a call to fsnotify_put_group()
always results in a call to fsnotify_destroy_group().
With this patch fsnotify_destroy_group() is called directly.

If the FAN_Q_OVERFLOW bit set in event->mask, the fanotify event
metadata will not contain a valid file descriptor, but
copy_event_to_user() didn't check for that, and unconditionally does a
fd_install() on the file descriptor.
Which in turn will cause a BUG_ON() in __fd_install().
Introduced by commit 352e3b2492 ("fanotify: sanitize failure exits in
copy_event_to_user()")

* do copy_to_user() before prepare_for_access_response(); that kills
the need in remove_access_response().
* don't do fd_install() until we are past the last possible failure
exit. Don't use sys_close() on cleanup side - just put_unused_fd()
and fput(). Less racy that way...
