This flag is a new way to configure ignore mask which allows adding and
removing the event flags FAN_ONDIR and FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD in ignore mask.
The legacy FAN_MARK_IGNORED_MASK flag would always ignore events on
directories and would ignore events on children depending on whether
the FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD flag was set in the (non ignored) mask.
FAN_MARK_IGNORE can be used to ignore events on children without setting
FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD in the mark's mask and will not ignore events on
directories unconditionally, only when FAN_ONDIR is set in ignore mask.
The new behavior is non-downgradable. After calling fanotify_mark() with
FAN_MARK_IGNORE once, calling fanotify_mark() with FAN_MARK_IGNORED_MASK
on the same object will return EEXIST error.
Setting the event flags with FAN_MARK_IGNORE on a non-dir inode mark
has no meaning and will return ENOTDIR error.
The meaning of FAN_MARK_IGNORED_SURV_MODIFY is preserved with the new
FAN_MARK_IGNORE flag, but with a few semantic differences:
1. FAN_MARK_IGNORED_SURV_MODIFY is required for filesystem and mount
marks and on an inode mark on a directory. Omitting this flag
will return EINVAL or EISDIR error.
2. An ignore mask on a non-directory inode that survives modify could
never be downgraded to an ignore mask that does not survive modify.
With new FAN_MARK_IGNORE semantics we make that rule explicit -
trying to update a surviving ignore mask without the flag
FAN_MARK_IGNORED_SURV_MODIFY will return EEXIST error.
The conveniene macro FAN_MARK_IGNORE_SURV is added for
(FAN_MARK_IGNORE | FAN_MARK_IGNORED_SURV_MODIFY), because the
common case should use short constant names.

Commit ceaf69f8ea ("fanotify: do not allow setting dirent events in
mask of non-dir") added restrictions about setting dirent events in the
mask of a non-dir inode mark, which does not make any sense.
For backward compatibility, these restictions were added only to new
(v5.17+) APIs.
It also does not make any sense to set the flags FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD or
FAN_ONDIR in the mask of a non-dir inode. Add these flags to the
dir-only restriction of the new APIs as well.
Move the check of the dir-only flags for new APIs into the helper
fanotify_events_supported(), which is only called for FAN_MARK_ADD,
because there is no need to error on an attempt to remove the dir-only
flags from non-dir inode.

FAN_RENAME is the successor of FAN_MOVED_FROM and FAN_MOVED_TO
and can be used to get the old and new parent+name information in
a single event.
FAN_MOVED_FROM and FAN_MOVED_TO are still supported for backward
compatibility, but it makes little sense to use them together with
FAN_RENAME in the same group.
FAN_RENAME uses special info type records to report the old and
new parent+name, so reporting only old and new parent id is less
useful and was not implemented.
Therefore, FAN_REANAME requires a group with flag FAN_REPORT_NAME.

FAN_REPORT_FID is ambiguous in that it reports the fid of the child for
some events and the fid of the parent for create/delete/move events.
The new FAN_REPORT_TARGET_FID flag is an implicit request to report
the fid of the target object of the operation (a.k.a the child inode)
also in create/delete/move events in addition to the fid of the parent
and the name of the child.
To reduce the test matrix for uninteresting use cases, the new
FAN_REPORT_TARGET_FID flag requires both FAN_REPORT_NAME and
FAN_REPORT_FID. The convenience macro FAN_REPORT_DFID_NAME_TARGET
combines FAN_REPORT_TARGET_FID with all the required flags.

Introduce a new flag FAN_REPORT_PIDFD for fanotify_init(2) which
allows userspace applications to control whether a pidfd information
record containing a pidfd is to be returned alongside the generic
event metadata for each event.
If FAN_REPORT_PIDFD is enabled for a notification group, an additional
struct fanotify_event_info_pidfd object type will be supplied
alongside the generic struct fanotify_event_metadata for a single
event. This functionality is analogous to that of FAN_REPORT_FID in
terms of how the event structure is supplied to a userspace
application. Usage of FAN_REPORT_PIDFD with
FAN_REPORT_FID/FAN_REPORT_DFID_NAME is permitted, and in this case a
struct fanotify_event_info_pidfd object will likely follow any struct
fanotify_event_info_fid object.
Currently, the usage of the FAN_REPORT_TID flag is not permitted along
with FAN_REPORT_PIDFD as the pidfd API currently only supports the
creation of pidfds for thread-group leaders. Additionally, usage of
the FAN_REPORT_PIDFD flag is limited to privileged processes only
i.e. event listeners that are running with the CAP_SYS_ADMIN
capability. Attempting to supply the FAN_REPORT_TID initialization
flags with FAN_REPORT_PIDFD or creating a notification group without
CAP_SYS_ADMIN will result with -EINVAL being returned to the caller.
In the event of a pidfd creation error, there are two types of error
values that can be reported back to the listener. There is
FAN_NOPIDFD, which will be reported in cases where the process
responsible for generating the event has terminated prior to the event
listener being able to read the event. Then there is FAN_EPIDFD, which
will be reported when a more generic pidfd creation error has occurred
when fanotify calls pidfd_create().

The copy_info_records_to_user() helper allows for the separation of
info record copying routines/conditionals from copy_event_to_user(),
which reduces the overall clutter within this function. This becomes
especially true as we start introducing additional info records in the
future i.e. struct fanotify_event_info_pidfd. On success, this helper
returns the total amount of bytes that have been copied into the user
supplied buffer and on error, a negative value is returned to the
caller.
The newly defined macro FANOTIFY_INFO_MODES can be used to obtain info
record types that have been enabled for a specific notification
group. This macro becomes useful in the subsequent patch when the
FAN_REPORT_PIDFD initialization flag is introduced.

Add limited support for unprivileged fanotify groups.
An unprivileged users is not allowed to get an open file descriptor in
the event nor the process pid of another process. An unprivileged user
cannot request permission events, cannot set mount/filesystem marks and
cannot request unlimited queue/marks.
This enables the limited functionality similar to inotify when watching a
set of files and directories for OPEN/ACCESS/MODIFY/CLOSE events, without
requiring SYS_CAP_ADMIN privileges.
The FAN_REPORT_DFID_NAME init flag, provide a method for an unprivileged
listener watching a set of directories (with FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD) to monitor
all changes inside those directories.
This typically requires that the listener keeps a map of watched directory
fid to dirfd (O_PATH), where fid is obtained with name_to_handle_at()
before starting to watch for changes.
When getting an event, the reported fid of the parent should be resolved
to dirfd and fstatsat(2) with dirfd and name should be used to query the
state of the filesystem entry.

fanotify has some hardcoded limits. The only APIs to escape those limits
are FAN_UNLIMITED_QUEUE and FAN_UNLIMITED_MARKS.
Allow finer grained tuning of the system limits via sysfs tunables under
/proc/sys/fs/fanotify, similar to tunables under /proc/sys/fs/inotify,
with some minor differences.
- max_queued_events - global system tunable for group queue size limit.
Like the inotify tunable with the same name, it defaults to 16384 and
applies on initialization of a new group.
- max_user_marks - user ns tunable for marks limit per user.
Like the inotify tunable named max_user_watches, on a machine with
sufficient RAM and it defaults to 1048576 in init userns and can be
further limited per containing user ns.
- max_user_groups - user ns tunable for number of groups per user.
Like the inotify tunable named max_user_instances, it defaults to 128
in init userns and can be further limited per containing user ns.
The slightly different tunable names used for fanotify are derived from
the "group" and "mark" terminology used in the fanotify man pages and
throughout the code.
Considering the fact that the default value for max_user_instances was
increased in kernel v5.10 from 8192 to 1048576, leaving the legacy
fanotify limit of 8192 marks per group in addition to the max_user_marks
limit makes little sense, so the per group marks limit has been removed.
Note that when a group is initialized with FAN_UNLIMITED_MARKS, its own
marks are not accounted in the per user marks account, so in effect the
limit of max_user_marks is only for the collection of groups that are
not initialized with FAN_UNLIMITED_MARKS.

Introduce a new fanotify_init() flag FAN_REPORT_NAME. It requires the
flag FAN_REPORT_DIR_FID and there is a constant for setting both flags
named FAN_REPORT_DFID_NAME.
For a group with flag FAN_REPORT_NAME, the parent fid and name are
reported for directory entry modification events (create/detete/move)
and for events on non-directory objects.
Events on directories themselves are reported with their own fid and
"." as the name.
The parent fid and name are reported with an info record of type
FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_DFID_NAME, similar to the way that parent fid is
reported with into type FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_DFID, but with an appended
null terminated name string.

- Directory modification events
- Events on children of a watching directory
- Events on directory objects

planning further extensions to the fanotify API and during that we
realized that FAN_DIR_MODIFY may behave slightly differently to be more
consistent with extensions we plan. So until we finalize these
extensions, let's not bind our hands with exposing FAN_DIR_MODIFY to
userland.

Report event FAN_DIR_MODIFY with name in a variable length record similar
to how fid's are reported. With name info reporting implemented, setting
FAN_DIR_MODIFY in mark mask is now allowed.
When events are reported with name, the reported fid identifies the
directory and the name follows the fid. The info record type for this
event info is FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_DFID_NAME.
For now, all reported events have at most one info record which is
either FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_FID or FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_DFID_NAME (for
FAN_DIR_MODIFY). Later on, events "on child" will report both records.
There are several ways that an application can use this information:
1. When watching a single directory, the name is always relative to
the watched directory, so application need to fstatat(2) the name
relative to the watched directory.
2. When watching a set of directories, the application could keep a map
of dirfd for all watched directories and hash the map by fid obtained
with name_to_handle_at(2). When getting a name event, the fid in the
event info could be used to lookup the base dirfd in the map and then
call fstatat(2) with that dirfd.
3. When watching a filesystem (FAN_MARK_FILESYSTEM) or a large set of
directories, the application could use open_by_handle_at(2) with the fid
in event info to obtain dirfd for the directory where event happened and
call fstatat(2) with this dirfd.
The last option scales better for a large number of watched directories.
The first two options may be available in the future also for non
privileged fanotify watchers, because open_by_handle_at(2) requires
the CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH capability.

dirent modification events (create/delete/move) do not carry the
child entry name/inode information. Instead, we report FAN_ONDIR
for mkdir/rmdir so user can differentiate them from creat/unlink.
This is consistent with inotify reporting IN_ISDIR with dirent events
and is useful for implementing recursive directory tree watcher.
We avoid merging dirent events referring to subdirs with dirent events
referring to non subdirs, otherwise, user won't be able to tell from a
mask FAN_CREATE|FAN_DELETE|FAN_ONDIR if it describes mkdir+unlink pair
or rmdir+create pair of events.
For backward compatibility and consistency, do not report FAN_ONDIR
to user in legacy fanotify mode (reporting fd) and report FAN_ONDIR
to user in FAN_REPORT_FID mode for all event types.

Add support for events with data type FSNOTIFY_EVENT_INODE
(e.g. create/attrib/move/delete) for inode and filesystem mark types.
The "inode" events do not carry enough information (i.e. path) to
report event->fd, so we do not allow setting a mask for those events
unless group supports reporting fid.
The "inode" events are not supported on a mount mark, because they do
not carry enough information (i.e. path) to be filtered by mount point.
The "dirent" events (create/move/delete) report the fid of the parent
directory where events took place without specifying the filename of the
child. In the future, fanotify may get support for reporting filename
information for those events.

When setting up an fanotify listener, user may request to get fid
information in event instead of an open file descriptor.
The fid obtained with event on a watched object contains the file
handle returned by name_to_handle_at(2) and fsid returned by statfs(2).
Restrict FAN_REPORT_FID to class FAN_CLASS_NOTIF, because we have have
no good reason to support reporting fid on permission events.
When setting a mark, we need to make sure that the filesystem
supports encoding file handles with name_to_handle_at(2) and that
statfs(2) encodes a non-zero fsid.
