Removing the parent of a watched file results in "kernel BUG at
fs/notify/mark.c:139".
To reproduce
add "-w /tmp/audit/dir/watched_file" to audit.rules
rm -rf /tmp/audit/dir
This is caused by fsnotify_destroy_mark() being called without an
extra reference taken by the caller.
Reported by Francesco Cosoleto here:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689860
Fix by removing the BUG_ON and adding a comment about not accessing mark after
the iput.

On an error path in inotify_init1 a normal user can trigger a double
free of struct user. This is a regression introduced by a2ae4cc9a1
("inotify: stop kernel memory leak on file creation failure").
We fix this by making sure that if a group exists the user reference is
dropped when the group is cleaned up. We should not explictly drop the
reference on error and also drop the reference when the group is cleaned
up.
The new lifetime rules are that an inotify group lives from
inotify_new_group to the last fsnotify_put_group. Since the struct user
and inotify_devs are directly tied to this lifetime they are only
changed/updated in those two locations. We get rid of all special
casing of struct user or user->inotify_devs.

All that remains of the inode_lock is protecting the inode hash list
manipulation and traversals. Rename the inode_lock to
inode_hash_lock to reflect it's actual function.

Protect the per-sb inode list with a new global lock
inode_sb_list_lock and use it to protect the list manipulations and
traversals. This lock replaces the inode_lock as the inodes on the
list can be validity checked while holding the inode->i_lock and
hence the inode_lock is no longer needed to protect the list.

Protect inode state transitions and validity checks with the
inode->i_lock. This enables us to make inode state transitions
independently of the inode_lock and is the first step to peeling
away the inode_lock from the code.
This requires that __iget() is done atomically with i_state checks
during list traversals so that we don't race with another thread
marking the inode I_FREEING between the state check and grabbing the
reference.
Also remove the unlock_new_inode() memory barrier optimisation
required to avoid taking the inode_lock when clearing I_NEW.
Simplify the code by simply taking the inode->i_lock around the
state change and wakeup. Because the wakeup is no longer tricky,
remove the wake_up_inode() function and open code the wakeup where
necessary.

dcache_inode_lock can be replaced with per-inode locking. Use existing
inode->i_lock for this. This is slightly non-trivial because we sometimes
need to find the inode from the dentry, which requires d_inode to be
stabilised (either with refcount or d_lock).

Add a new lock, dcache_inode_lock, to protect the inode's i_dentry list
from concurrent modification. d_alias is also protected by d_lock.
Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
Protect d_subdirs and d_child with d_lock, except in filesystems that aren't
using dcache_lock for these anyway (eg. using i_mutex).
Note: if we change the locking rule in future so that ->d_child protection is
provided only with ->d_parent->d_lock, it may allow us to reduce some locking.
But it would be an exception to an otherwise regular locking scheme, so we'd
have to see some good results. Probably not worthwhile.

The fanotify_event_metadata now has a field which is supposed to

field as well.

If fanotify_init is unable to allocate a new fsnotify group it will
return but will not drop its reference on the associated user struct.

When fanotify_release() is called, there may still be processes waiting for
access permission. Currently only processes for which an event has already been
queued into the groups access list will be woken up. Processes for which no
event has been queued will continue to sleep and thus cause a deadlock when
fsnotify_put_group() is called.
Furthermore there is a race allowing further processes to be waiting on the
access wait queue after wake_up (if they arrive before clear_marks_by_group()
is called).
This patch corrects this by setting a flag to inform processes that the group
is about to be destroyed and thus not to wait for access permission.

Lets think about the 4 relevant code paths from the PoV of the
'operator' 'listener' 'responder' and 'closer'. Where operator is the
process doing an action (like open/read) which could require permission.
Listener is the task (or in this case thread) slated with reading from
the fanotify file descriptor. The 'responder' is the thread responsible
for responding to access requests. 'Closer' is the thread attempting to
close the fanotify file descriptor.
The 'operator' is going to end up in:
fanotify_handle_event()
get_response_from_access()
(THIS BLOCKS WAITING ON USERSPACE)
The 'listener' interesting code path
fanotify_read()
copy_event_to_user()
prepare_for_access_response()
(THIS CREATES AN fanotify_response_event)
The 'responder' code path:
fanotify_write()
process_access_response()
(REMOVE A fanotify_response_event, SET RESPONSE, WAKE UP 'operator')
The 'closer':
fanotify_release()
(SUPPOSED TO CLEAN UP THE REST OF THIS MESS)
What we have today is that in the closer we remove all of the
fanotify_response_events and set a bit so no more response events are
ever created in prepare_for_access_response().
The bug is that we never wake all of the operators up and tell them to
move along. You fix that in fanotify_get_response_from_access(). You
also fix other operators which haven't gotten there yet. So I agree
that's a good fix.

In mark_remove_from_mask() we destroy marks that have their event mask cleared.
Thus we should not allow the creation of those marks in the first place.
With this patch we check if the mask given from user is 0 in case of FAN_MARK_ADD.
If so we return an error. Same for FAN_MARK_REMOVE since this does not have any
effect.

If adding a mount or inode mark failed fanotify_free_mark() is called explicitly.
But at this time the mark has already been put into the destroy list of the
fsnotify_mark kernel thread. If the thread is too slow it will try to decrease
the reference of a mark, that has already been freed by fanotify_free_mark().
(If its fast enough it will only decrease the marks ref counter from 2 to 1 - note
that the counter has been increased to 2 in add_mark() - which has practically no
effect.)
This patch fixes the ref counting by not calling free_mark() explicitly, but
decreasing the ref counter and rely on the fsnotify_mark thread to cleanup in
case adding the mark has failed.
