The FMODE_NONOTIFY_* bits are a 2-bits mode. Open coding manipulation
of those bits is risky. Use an accessor file_set_fsnotify_mode() to
set the mode.
Rename file_set_fsnotify_mode() => file_set_fsnotify_mode_from_watchers()
to make way for the simple accessor name.

Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for
watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls,
loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net,
drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a
registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or
modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function.
Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.
This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25c ("sysctl: treewide:

Pull fsnotify pre-content notification support from Jan Kara:
"This introduces a new fsnotify event (FS_PRE_ACCESS) that gets
generated before a file contents is accessed.
The event is synchronous so if there is listener for this event, the
kernel waits for reply. On success the execution continues as usual,
on failure we propagate the error to userspace. This allows userspace
to fill in file content on demand from slow storage. The context in
which the events are generated has been picked so that we don't hold
any locks and thus there's no risk of a deadlock for the userspace
handler.
The new pre-content event is available only for users with global
CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability (similarly to other parts of fanotify
functionality) and it is an administrator responsibility to make sure
the userspace event handler doesn't do stupid stuff that can DoS the
system.
Based on your feedback from the last submission, fsnotify code has
been improved and now file->f_mode encodes whether pre-content event
needs to be generated for the file so the fast path when nobody wants
pre-content event for the file just grows the additional file->f_mode
check. As a bonus this also removes the checks whether the old
FS_ACCESS event needs to be generated from the fast path. Also the
place where the event is generated during page fault has been moved so
now filemap_fault() generates the event if and only if there is no
uptodate folio in the page cache.
Also we have dropped FS_PRE_MODIFY event as current real-world users
of the pre-content functionality don't really use it so let's start
with the minimal useful feature set"

Encoding file handles is usually performed by a filesystem >encode_fh()
method that may fail for various reasons.
The legacy users of exportfs_encode_fh(), namely, nfsd and
name_to_handle_at(2) syscall are ready to cope with the possibility
of failure to encode a file handle.
There are a few other users of exportfs_encode_{fh,fid}() that
currently have a WARN_ON() assertion when ->encode_fh() fails.
Relax those assertions because they are wrong.
The second linked bug report states commit 16aac5ad1f ("ovl: support
encoding non-decodable file handles") in v6.6 as the regressing commit,
but this is not accurate.
The aforementioned commit only increases the chances of the assertion
and allows triggering the assertion with the reproducer using overlayfs,
inotify and drop_caches.
Triggering this assertion was always possible with other filesystems and
other reasons of ->encode_fh() failures and more particularly, it was
also possible with the exact same reproducer using overlayfs that is
mounted with options index=on,nfs_export=on also on kernels < v6.6.
Therefore, I am not listing the aforementioned commit as a Fixes commit.
Backport hint: this patch will have a trivial conflict applying to
v6.6.y, and other trivial conflicts applying to stable kernels < v6.6.

With FAN_DENY response, user trying to perform the filesystem operation
gets an error with errno set to EPERM.
It is useful for hierarchical storage management (HSM) service to be able
to deny access for reasons more diverse than EPERM, for example EAGAIN,
if HSM could retry the operation later.
Allow fanotify groups with priority FAN_CLASSS_PRE_CONTENT to responsd
to permission events with the response value FAN_DENY_ERRNO(errno),
instead of FAN_DENY to return a custom error.
Limit custom error values to errors expected on read(2)/write(2) and
open(2) of regular files. This list could be extended in the future.
Userspace can test for legitimate values of FAN_DENY_ERRNO(errno) by
writing a response to an fanotify group fd with a value of FAN_NOFD in
the fd field of the response.
The change in fanotify_response is backward compatible, because errno is
written in the high 8 bits of the 32bit response field and old kernels
reject respose value with high bits set.

Similar to FAN_ACCESS_PERM permission event, but it is only allowed with
class FAN_CLASS_PRE_CONTENT and only allowed on regular files and dirs.
Unlike FAN_ACCESS_PERM, it is safe to write to the file being accessed
in the context of the event handler.
This pre-content event is meant to be used by hierarchical storage
managers that want to fill the content of files on first read access.

The new FS_PRE_ACCESS permission event is similar to FS_ACCESS_PERM,
but it meant for a different use case of filling file content before
access to a file range, so it has slightly different semantics.
Generate FS_PRE_ACCESS/FS_ACCESS_PERM as two seperate events, so content
scanners could inspect the content filled by pre-content event handler.
Unlike FS_ACCESS_PERM, FS_PRE_ACCESS is also called before a file is
modified by syscalls as write() and fallocate().
FS_ACCESS_PERM is reported also on blockdev and pipes, but the new
pre-content events are only reported for regular files and dirs.
The pre-content events are meant to be used by hierarchical storage
managers that want to fill the content of files on first access.
There are some specific requirements from filesystems that could
be used with pre-content events, so add a flag for fs to opt-in
for pre-content events explicitly before they can be used.

Previously we would only include optional information if you requested
it via an FAN_ flag at fanotify_init time (FAN_REPORT_FID for example).
However this isn't necessary as the event length is encoded in the
metadata, and if the user doesn't want to consume the information they
don't have to. With the PRE_ACCESS events we will always generate range
information, so drop this check in order to allow this extra
information to be exported without needing to have another flag.

So far, we set FMODE_NONOTIFY_ flags at open time if we know that there
are no permission event watchers at all on the filesystem, but lack of
FMODE_NONOTIFY_ flags does not mean that the file is actually watched.
For pre-content events, it is possible to optimize things so that we
don't bother trying to send pre-content events if file was not watched
(through sb, mnt, parent or inode itself) on open. Set FMODE_NONOTIFY_
flags according to that.

Legacy inotify/fanotify listeners can add watches for events on inode,
parent or mount and expect to get events (e.g. FS_MODIFY) on files that
were already open at the time of setting up the watches.
fanotify permission events are typically used by Anti-malware sofware,
that is watching the entire mount and it is not common to have more that
one Anti-malware engine installed on a system.
To reduce the overhead of the fsnotify_file_perm() hooks on every file
access, relax the semantics of the legacy FAN_ACCESS_PERM event to generate
events only if there were *any* permission event listeners on the
filesystem at the time that the file was opened.
The new semantic is implemented by extending the FMODE_NONOTIFY bit into
two FMODE_NONOTIFY_* bits, that are used to store a mode for which of the
events types to report.
This is going to apply to the new fanotify pre-content events in order
to reduce the cost of the new pre-content event vfs hooks.

Ensure the superblock is kept alive until we're done with iput().
Holding a reference to an inode is not allowed unless we ensure the
superblock stays alive, which fsnotify does by keeping the
watched_objects count elevated, so iput() must happen before the
watched_objects decrement.
This can lead to a UAF of something like sb->s_fs_info in tmpfs, but the
UAF is hard to hit because race orderings that oops are more likely, thanks
to the CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION() block in generic_shutdown_super().
Also, ensure that fsnotify_put_sb_watched_objects() doesn't call
fsnotify_sb_watched_objects() on a superblock that may have already been
freed, which would cause a UAF read of sb->s_fsnotify_info.

We got a report that adding a fanotify filsystem watch prevents tail -f
from receiving events.
Reproducer:
1. Create 3 windows / login sessions. Become root in each session.
2. Choose a mounted filesystem that is pretty quiet; I picked /boot.
3. In the first window, run: fsnotifywait -S -m /boot
4. In the second window, run: echo data >> /boot/foo
5. In the third window, run: tail -f /boot/foo
6. Go back to the second window and run: echo more data >> /boot/foo
7. Observe that the tail command doesn't show the new data.
8. In the first window, hit control-C to interrupt fsnotifywait.
9. In the second window, run: echo still more data >> /boot/foo
10. Observe that the tail command in the third window has now printed
the missing data.
When stracing tail, we observed that when fanotify filesystem mark is
set, tail does get the inotify event, but the event is receieved with
the filename:
read(4, "\1\0\0\0\2\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\20\0\0\0foo\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0",
50) = 32
This is unexpected, because tail is watching the file itself and not its
parent and is inconsistent with the inotify event received by tail when
fanotify filesystem mark is not set:
read(4, "\1\0\0\0\2\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 50) = 16
The inteference between different fsnotify groups was caused by the fact
that the mark on the sb requires the filename, so the filename is passed
to fsnotify(). Later on, fsnotify_handle_event() tries to take care of
not passing the filename to groups (such as inotify) that are interested
in the filename only when the parent is watching.
But the logic was incorrect for the case that no group is watching the
parent, some groups are watching the sb and some watching the inode.

When working in "fd mode", fanotify_read() needs to open an fd
from a dentry to report event->fd to userspace.
Opening an fd from dentry can fail for several reasons.
For example, when tasks are gone and we try to open their
/proc files or we try to open a WRONLY file like in sysfs
or when trying to open a file that was deleted on the
remote network server.
Add a new flag FAN_REPORT_FD_ERROR for fanotify_init().
For a group with FAN_REPORT_FD_ERROR, we will send the
event with the error instead of the open fd, otherwise
userspace may not get the error at all.
For an overflow event, we report -EBADF to avoid confusing FAN_NOFD
with -EPERM. Similarly for pidfd open errors we report either -ESRCH
or the open error instead of FAN_NOPIDFD and FAN_EPIDFD.
In any case, userspace will not know which file failed to
open, so add a debug print for further investigation.
