Make sure that s_umount is acquired *before* we drop the final
active reference; we still have the fast path (atomic_dec_unless)
and we have gotten rid of the window between the moment when
s_active hits zero and s_umount is acquired. Which simplifies
the living hell out of grab_super() and inotify pin_to_kill()
stuff.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.infradead.org/users/eparis/notify:
inotify: don't leak user struct on inotify release
inotify: race use after free/double free in inotify inode marks
inotify: clean up the inotify_add_watch out path
Inotify: undefined reference to `anon_inode_getfd'
Manual merge to remove duplicate "select ANON_INODES" from Kconfig file
inotify_new_group() receives a get_uid-ed user_struct and saves the
reference on group->inotify_data.user. The problem is that free_uid() is
never called on it.
Issue seem to be introduced by 63c882a0 (inotify: reimplement inotify
using fsnotify) after 2.6.30.

There is a race in the inotify add/rm watch code. A task can find and
remove a mark which doesn't have all of it's references. This can
result in a use after free/double free situation.
Task A Task B
------------ -----------
inotify_new_watch()
allocate a mark (refcnt == 1)
add it to the idr
inotify_rm_watch()
inotify_remove_from_idr()
fsnotify_put_mark()
refcnt hits 0, free
take reference because we are on idr
[at this point it is a use after free]
[time goes on]
refcnt may hit 0 again, double free
The fix is to take the reference BEFORE the object can be found in the
idr.

inotify will WARN() if it finds that the idr and the fsnotify internals
somehow got out of sync. It was only supposed to do this once but due
to this stupid bug it would warn every single time a problem was
detected.

Since commit 7e790dd5fc ("inotify: fix
error paths in inotify_update_watch") inotify changed the manor in which
it gave watch descriptors back to userspace. Previous to this commit
inotify acted like the following:
inotify_add_watch(X, Y, Z) = 1
inotify_rm_watch(X, 1);
inotify_add_watch(X, Y, Z) = 2
but after this patch inotify would return watch descriptors like so:
inotify_add_watch(X, Y, Z) = 1
inotify_rm_watch(X, 1);
inotify_add_watch(X, Y, Z) = 1
which I saw as equivalent to opening an fd where
open(file) = 1;
close(1);
open(file) = 1;
seemed perfectly reasonable. The issue is that quite a bit of userspace
apparently relies on the behavior in which watch descriptors will not be
quickly reused. KDE relies on it, I know some selinux packages rely on
it, and I have heard complaints from other random sources such as debian
bug 558981.
Although the man page implies what we do is ok, we broke userspace so
this patch almost reverts us to the old behavior. It is still slightly
racey and I have patches that would fix that, but they are rather large
and this will fix it for all real world cases. The race is as follows:
- task1 creates a watch and blocks in idr_new_watch() before it updates
the hint.
- task2 creates a watch and updates the hint.
- task1 updates the hint with it's older wd
- task removes the watch created by task2
- task adds a new watch and will reuse the wd originally given to task2
it requires moving some locking around the hint (last_wd) but this should
solve it for the real world and be -stable safe.
As a side effect this patch papers over a bug in the lib/idr code which
is causing a large number WARN's to pop on people's system and many
reports in kerneloops.org. I'm working on the root cause of that idr
bug seperately but this should make inotify immune to that issue.

For consistency drop & in front of every proc_handler. Explicity
taking the address is unnecessary and it prevents optimizations
like stubbing the proc_handlers to NULL.

Seperating the addition and update of marks in inotify resulted in a
regression in that inotify never gets events. The inotify group mask is
always 0. This mask should be updated any time a new mark is added.

0db501bd06 introduced a regresion in that it now sends a nul
terminator but the length accounting when checking for space or
reporting to userspace did not take this into account. This corrects
all of the rounding logic.

When an event has no pathname, there's no need to pad it with a null byte and
therefore generate an inotify_event sized block of zeros. This fixes a
regression introduced by commit 0db501bd06 where
my system wouldn't finish booting because some process was being confused by
this.

Before the rewrite copy_event_to_user always wrote a terqminating '\0'
byte to user space after the filename. Since the rewrite that
terminating byte was skipped if your filename is exactly a multiple of
event_size. Ouch!
So add one byte to name_size before we round up and use clear_user to
set userspace to zero like /dev/zero does instead of copying the
strange nul_inotify_event. I can't quite convince myself len_to_zero
will never exceed 16 and even if it doesn't clear_user should be more
efficient and a more accurate reflection of what the code is trying to
do.

The are races around the idr storage of inotify watches. It's possible
that a watch could be found from sys_inotify_rm_watch() in the idr, but it
could be removed from the idr before that code does it's removal. Move the
locking and the refcnt'ing so that these have to happen atomically.

If an inotify watch is left in the idr when an fsnotify group is destroyed
this will lead to a BUG. This is not a dangerous situation and really
indicates a programming bug and leak of memory. This patch changes it to
use a WARN and a printk rather than killing people's boxes.

There is nothing known wrong with the inotify watch addition/modification
but this patch seperates the two code paths to make them each easy to
verify as correct.

The inotify_add_watch man page specifies that inotify_add_watch() will
return a non-negative integer. However, historically the inotify
watches started at 1, not at 0.
Turns out that the inotifywait program provided by the inotify-tools
package doesn't properly handle a 0 watch descriptor. In 7e790dd5 we
changed from starting at 1 to starting at 0. This patch starts at 1,
just like in previous kernels, but also just like in previous kernels
it's possible for it to wrap back to 0. This preserves the kernel
functionality exactly like it was before the patch (neither method broke
the spec)
