2010-07-28fsnotify: allow marks to not pin inodes in coreEric Paris
inotify marks must pin inodes in core. dnotify doesn't technically need to since they are closed when the directory is closed. fanotify also need to pin inodes in core as it works today. But the next step is to introduce the concept of 'ignored masks' which is actually a mask of events for an inode of no interest. I claim that these should be liberally sent to the kernel and should not pin the inode in core. If the inode is brought back in the listener will get an event it may have thought excluded, but this is not a serious situation and one any listener should deal with. This patch lays the ground work for non-pinning inode marks by using lazy inode pinning. We do not pin a mark until it has a non-zero mask entry. If a listener new sets a mask we never pin the inode.

2010-07-28fanotify: remove outgoing function checks in fanotify.hAndreas Gruenbacher
A number of validity checks on outgoing data are done in static inlines but are only used in one place. Instead just do them where they are used for readability. Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

2010-07-28fanotify: hooks the fanotify_mark syscall to the vfsmount codeEric Paris
Create a new fanotify_mark flag which indicates we should attach the mark to the vfsmount holding the object referenced by dfd and pathname rather than the inode itself. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

2010-07-28fanotify: infrastructure to add an remove marks on vfsmountsEric Paris
infrastructure work to add and remove marks on vfsmounts. This should get every set up except wiring the functions to the syscalls. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fanotify: should_send_event needs to handle vfsmountsEric Paris
currently should_send_event in fanotify only cares about marks on inodes. This patch extends that interface to indicate that it cares about events that happened on vfsmounts. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fsnotify: split generic and inode specific mark codeEric Paris
currently all marking is done by functions in inode-mark.c. Some of this is pretty generic and should be instead done in a generic function and we should only put the inode specific code in inode-mark.c Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

2010-07-28fanotify: CONFIG_HAVE_SYSCALL_WRAPPERS for sys_fanotify_markHeiko Carstens
Please note that you need the patch below in addition, otherwise the syscall wrapper stuff won't work on those 32 bit architectures which enable the wrappers. When enabled the syscall wrapper defines always take long parameters and then cast them to whatever is needed. This approach doesn't work for the 32 bit case where the original syscall takes a long long parameter, since we would lose the upper 32 bits. So syscalls with 64 bit arguments are special cases wrt to syscall wrappers and enp up in the ugliness below (see also sys_fallocate). In addition these special cased syscall wrappers have the drawback that ftrace syscall tracing doesn't work on them, since they don't get defined by using the usual macros.

2010-07-28fanotify: select ANON_INODES.Paul Mundt
fanotify references anon_inode_getfd(), which is only available with ANON_INODES enabled. Presently this bails out with the following: LD vmlinux fs/built-in.o: In function `sys_fanotify_init': (.text+0x26d1c): undefined reference to `anon_inode_getfd' make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1 which is trivially corrected by adding an ANON_INODES select.

2010-07-28fanotify: send events using readEric Paris
Send events to userspace by reading the file descriptor from fanotify_init(). One will get blocks of data which look like: struct fanotify_event_metadata { __u32 event_len; __u32 vers; __s32 fd; __u64 mask; __s64 pid; __u64 cookie; } __attribute__ ((packed)); Simple code to retrieve and deal with events is below while ((len = read(fan_fd, buf, sizeof(buf))) > 0) { struct fanotify_event_metadata *metadata; metadata = (void *)buf; while(FAN_EVENT_OK(metadata, len)) { [PROCESS HERE!!] if (metadata->fd >= 0 && close(metadata->fd) != 0) goto fail; metadata = FAN_EVENT_NEXT(metadata, len); } } Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fanotify: fanotify_mark syscall implementationEric Paris
NAME fanotify_mark - add, remove, or modify an fanotify mark on a filesystem object SYNOPSIS int fanotify_mark(int fanotify_fd, unsigned int flags, u64 mask, int dfd, const char *pathname) DESCRIPTION fanotify_mark() is used to add remove or modify a mark on a filesystem object. Marks are used to indicate that the fanotify group is interested in events which occur on that object. At this point in time marks may only be added to files and directories. fanotify_fd must be a file descriptor returned by fanotify_init() The flags field must contain exactly one of the following: FAN_MARK_ADD - or the bits in mask and ignored mask into the mark FAN_MARK_REMOVE - bitwise remove the bits in mask and ignored mark from the mark The following values can be OR'd into the flags field: FAN_MARK_DONT_FOLLOW - same meaning as O_NOFOLLOW as described in open(2) FAN_MARK_ONLYDIR - same meaning as O_DIRECTORY as described in open(2) dfd may be any of the following: AT_FDCWD: the object will be lookup up based on pathname similar to open(2) file descriptor of a directory: if pathname is not NULL the object to modify will be lookup up similar to openat(2) file descriptor of the final object: if pathname is NULL the object to modify will be the object referenced by dfd The mask is the bitwise OR of the set of events of interest such as: FAN_ACCESS - object was accessed (read) FAN_MODIFY - object was modified (write) FAN_CLOSE_WRITE - object was writable and was closed FAN_CLOSE_NOWRITE - object was read only and was closed FAN_OPEN - object was opened FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD - interested in objected that happen to children. Only relavent when the object is a directory FAN_Q_OVERFLOW - event queue overflowed (not implemented) RETURN VALUE On success, this system call returns 0. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error. ERRORS EINVAL An invalid value was specified in flags. EINVAL An invalid value was specified in mask. EINVAL An invalid value was specified in ignored_mask. EINVAL fanotify_fd is not a file descriptor as returned by fanotify_init() EBADF fanotify_fd is not a valid file descriptor EBADF dfd is not a valid file descriptor and path is NULL. ENOTDIR dfd is not a directory and path is not NULL EACCESS no search permissions on some part of the path ENENT file not found ENOMEM Insufficient kernel memory is available. CONFORMING TO These system calls are Linux-specific. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fanotify: sys_fanotify_mark declartionEric Paris

2010-07-28fanotify: fanotify_init syscall implementationEric Paris
NAME fanotify_init - initialize an fanotify group SYNOPSIS int fanotify_init(unsigned int flags, unsigned int event_f_flags, int priority); DESCRIPTION fanotify_init() initializes a new fanotify instance and returns a file descriptor associated with the new fanotify event queue. The following values can be OR'd into the flags field: FAN_NONBLOCK Set the O_NONBLOCK file status flag on the new open file description. Using this flag saves extra calls to fcntl(2) to achieve the same result. FAN_CLOEXEC Set the close-on-exec (FD_CLOEXEC) flag on the new file descriptor. See the description of the O_CLOEXEC flag in open(2) for reasons why this may be useful. The event_f_flags argument is unused and must be set to 0 The priority argument is unused and must be set to 0 RETURN VALUE On success, this system call return a new file descriptor. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error. ERRORS EINVAL An invalid value was specified in flags. EINVAL A non-zero valid was passed in event_f_flags or in priority ENFILE The system limit on the total number of file descriptors has been reached. ENOMEM Insufficient kernel memory is available. CONFORMING TO These system calls are Linux-specific. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fanotify: fanotify_init syscall declarationEric Paris
This patch defines a new syscall fanotify_init() of the form: int sys_fanotify_init(unsigned int flags, unsigned int event_f_flags, unsigned int priority) This syscall is used to create and fanotify group. This is very similar to the inotify_init() syscall. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fanotify: do not clone on merge unless neededEric Paris
Currently if 2 events are going to be merged on the notication queue with different masks the second event will be cloned and will replace the first event. However if this notification queue is the only place referencing the event in question there is no reason not to just update the event in place. We can tell this if the event->refcnt == 1. Since we hold a reference for each queue this event is on we know that when refcnt == 1 this is the only queue. The other concern is that it might be about to be added to a new queue, but this can't be the case since fsnotify holds a reference on the event until it is finished adding it to queues.

2010-07-28fanotify: merge notification events with different masksEric Paris
Instead of just merging fanotify events if they are exactly the same, merge notification events with different masks. To do this we have to clone the old event, update the mask in the new event with the new merged mask, and put the new event in place of the old event. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fanotify:drop notification if they exist in the outgoing queueEric Paris
fanotify listeners get an open file descriptor to the object in question so the ordering of operations is not as important as in other notification systems. inotify will drop events if the last event in the event FIFO is the same as the current event. This patch will drop fanotify events if they are the same as another event anywhere in the event FIFO. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fanotify: fscking all notification systemEric Paris
fanotify is a novel file notification system which bases notification on giving userspace both an event type (open, close, read, write) and an open file descriptor to the object in question. This should address a number of races and problems with other notification systems like inotify and dnotify and should allow the future implementation of blocking or access controlled notification. These are useful for on access scanners or hierachical storage management schemes. This patch just implements the basics of the fsnotify functions. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
