Commit 7053aee26a "fsnotify: do not share events between notification
groups" used overflow event statically allocated in a group with the
size of the generic notification event. This causes problems because
some code looks at type specific parts of event structure and gets
confused by a random data it sees there and causes crashes.
Fix the problem by allocating overflow event with type corresponding to
the group type so code cannot get confused.

If the event queue overflows when we are handling permission event, we
will never get response from userspace. So we must avoid waiting for it.
Change fsnotify_add_notify_event() to return whether overflow has
happened so that we can detect it in fanotify_handle_event() and act
accordingly.

Currently we didn't initialize event's list head when we removed it from
the event list. Thus a detection whether overflow event is already
queued wasn't working. Fix it by always initializing the list head when
deleting event from a list.

My rework of handling of notification events (namely commit 7053aee26a
"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.

Currently struct fanotify_event_info has been destroyed immediately
after reporting its contents to userspace. However that is wrong for
permission events because those need to stay around until userspace
provides response which is filled back in fanotify_event_info. So change
to code to free permission events only after we have got the response
from userspace.

The event returned from fsnotify_add_notify_event() cannot ever be used
safely as the event may be freed by the time the function returns (after
dropping notification_mutex). So change the prototype to just return
whether the event was added or merged into some existing event.

We cannot use the event structure returned from
fsnotify_add_notify_event() because that event can be freed by the time
that function returns. Use the mask argument passed into the event
handler directly instead. This also fixes a possible problem when we
could unnecessarily wait for permission response for a normal fanotify
event which got merged with a permission event.
We also disallow merging of permission event with any other event so
that we know the permission event which we just created is the one on
which we should wait for permission response.

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.

In inotify_new_watch() the number of watches for a group is compared
against the max number of allowed watches and increased afterwards. The
check and incrementation is not done atomically, so it is possible for
multiple concurrent threads to pass the check and increment the number
of marks above the allowed max.
This patch uses an inotify groups mark_lock to ensure that both check
and incrementation are done atomic. Furthermore we dont have to worry
about the race that allows a concurrent thread to add a watch just after
inotify_update_existing_watch() returned with -ENOENT anymore, since
this is also synchronized by the groups mark mutex now.

For both adding an event to an existing mark and destroying a mark we
first have to find it via fsnotify_find_[inode|vfsmount]_mark(). But
getting the mark and adding an event (or destroying it) is not done
atomically. This opens a race where a thread is about to destroy a mark
while another thread still finds the same mark and adds an event to its
mask although it will be destroyed.
Another race exists concerning the excess of a groups number of marks
limit: When a mark is added the number of group marks is checked against
the max number of marks per group and increased afterwards. Since check
and increment is also not done atomically, this may result in 2 or more
processes passing the check at the same time and increasing the number
of group marks above the allowed limit.
With this patch both races are avoided by doing the concerning
operations with the groups mark mutex locked.

When we run the crackerjack testsuite, the inotify_add_watch test is
stalled.
This is caused by the invalid mask 0 - the task is waiting for the event
but it never comes. inotify_add_watch() should return -EINVAL as it did
before commit 676a0675cf ("inotify: remove broken mask checks causing
unmount to be EINVAL"). That commit removes the invalid mask check, but
that check is needed.
Check the mask's ALL_INOTIFY_BITS before the inotify_arg_to_mask() call.
If none are set, just return -EINVAL.
Because IN_UNMOUNT is in ALL_INOTIFY_BITS, this change will not trigger
the problem that above commit fixed.
