2017-07-07dentry name snapshotsAl Viro
take_dentry_name_snapshot() takes a safe snapshot of dentry name; if the name is a short one, it gets copied into caller-supplied structure, otherwise an extra reference to external name is grabbed (those are never modified). In either case the pointer to stable string is stored into the same structure. dentry must be held by the caller of take_dentry_name_snapshot(), but may be freely dropped afterwards - the snapshot will stay until destroyed by release_dentry_name_snapshot(). Intended use: struct name_snapshot s; take_dentry_name_snapshot(&s, dentry); ... access s.name ... release_dentry_name_snapshot(&s); Replaces fsnotify_oldname_...(), gets used in fsnotify to obtain the name to pass down with event.

2017-04-10fsnotify: Pass fsnotify_iter_info into handle_event handlerJan Kara
Pass fsnotify_iter_info into ->handle_event() handler so that it can release and reacquire SRCU lock via fsnotify_prepare_user_wait() and fsnotify_finish_user_wait() functions. These functions also make sure current marks are appropriately pinned so that iteration protected by srcu in fsnotify() stays safe.

2017-04-10fsnotify: Free fsnotify_mark_connector when there is no mark attachedJan Kara
Currently we free fsnotify_mark_connector structure only when inode / vfsmount is getting freed. This can however impose noticeable memory overhead when marks get attached to inodes only temporarily. So free the connector structure once the last mark is detached from the object. Since notification infrastructure can be working with the connector under the protection of fsnotify_mark_srcu, we have to be careful and free the fsnotify_mark_connector only after SRCU period passes.

2017-04-10fsnotify: Move mark list head from object into dedicated structureJan Kara
Currently notification marks are attached to object (inode or vfsmnt) by a hlist_head in the object. The list is also protected by a spinlock in the object. So while there is any mark attached to the list of marks, the object must be pinned in memory (and thus e.g. last iput() deleting inode cannot happen). Also for list iteration in fsnotify() to work, we must hold fsnotify_mark_srcu lock so that mark itself and mark->obj_list.next cannot get freed. Thus we are required to wait for response to fanotify events from userspace process with fsnotify_mark_srcu lock held. That causes issues when userspace process is buggy and does not reply to some event - basically the whole notification subsystem gets eventually stuck. So to be able to drop fsnotify_mark_srcu lock while waiting for response, we have to pin the mark in memory and make sure it stays in the object list (as removing the mark waiting for response could lead to lost notification events for groups later in the list). However we don't want inode reclaim to block on such mark as that would lead to system just locking up elsewhere. This commit is the first in the series that paves way towards solving these conflicting lifetime needs. Instead of anchoring the list of marks directly in the object, we anchor it in a dedicated structure (fsnotify_mark_connector) and just point to that structure from the object. The following commits will also add spinlock protecting the list and object pointer to the structure.

2015-09-04fs/notify: optimize inotify/fsnotify code for unwatched filesDave Hansen
I have a _tiny_ microbenchmark that sits in a loop and writes single bytes to a file. Writing one byte to a tmpfs file is around 2x slower than reading one byte from a file, which is a _bit_ more than I expecte. This is a dumb benchmark, but I think it's hard to deny that write() is a hot path and we should avoid unnecessary overhead there. I did a 'perf record' of 30-second samples of read and write. The top item in a diffprofile is srcu_read_lock() from fsnotify(). There are active inotify fd's from systemd, but nothing is actually listening to the file or its part of the filesystem. I *think* we can avoid taking the srcu_read_lock() for the common case where there are no actual marks on the file. This means that there will both be nothing to notify for *and* implies that there is no need for clearing the ignore mask. This patch gave a 13.1% speedup in writes/second on my test, which is an improvement from the 10.8% that I saw with the last version.

2014-11-13fanotify: fix notification of groups with inode & mount marksJan Kara
fsnotify() needs to merge inode and mount marks lists when notifying groups about events so that ignore masks from inode marks are reflected in mount mark notifications and groups are notified in proper order (according to priorities). Currently the sorting of the lists done by fsnotify_add_inode_mark() / fsnotify_add_vfsmount_mark() and fsnotify() differed which resulted ignore masks not being used in some cases. Fix the problem by always using the same comparison function when sorting / merging the mark lists. Thanks to Heinrich Schuchardt for improvements of my patch.

2014-02-18inotify: Fix reporting of cookies for inotify eventsJan Kara
My rework of handling of notification events (namely commit 7053aee26a35 "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.

2014-01-21fsnotify: do not share events between notification groupsJan Kara
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.

2013-02-27hlist: drop the node parameter from iteratorsSasha Levin
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

2010-08-22fsnotify: fix ignored mask handling between inode and vfsmount marksEric Paris
The interesting 2 list lockstep walking didn't quite work out if the inode marks only had ignores and the vfsmount list requested events. The code to shortcut list traversal would not run the inode list since it didn't have real event requests. This code forces inode list traversal when a vfsmount mark matches the event type. Maybe we could add an i_fsnotify_ignored_mask field to struct inode to get the shortcut back, but it doesn't seem worth it to grow struct inode again. I bet with the recent changes to lock the way we do now it would actually not be a major perf hit to just drop i_fsnotify_mark_mask altogether. But that is for another day.
