The knfsd file cache will need to detect when files are unlinked, so that
it can close the associated cached files. Export a minimal set of notifier

When implementing connector fsid cache, we only initialized the cache
when the first mark added to object was added by FAN_REPORT_FID group.
We forgot to update conn->fsid when the second mark is added by
FAN_REPORT_FID group to an already attached connector without fsid
cache.

Add a comment explaining why WRITE_ONCE() is enough when setting
mark->connector which can get dereferenced by RCU protected readers.
Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

fanotify_get_fsid() is reading mark->connector->fsid under srcu. It can
happen that it sees mark not fully initialized or mark that is already
detached from the object list. In these cases mark->connector
can be NULL leading to NULL ptr dereference. Fix the problem by
being careful when reading mark->connector and check it for being NULL.
Also use WRITE_ONCE when writing the mark just to prevent compiler from
doing something stupid.

For FAN_REPORT_FID, we need to encode fid with fsid of the filesystem on
every event. To avoid having to call vfs_statfs() on every event to get
fsid, we store the fsid in fsnotify_mark_connector on the first time we
add a mark and on handle event we use the cached fsid.
Subsequent calls to add mark on the same object are expected to pass the
same fsid, so the call will fail on cached fsid mismatch.
If an event is reported on several mark types (inode, mount, filesystem),
all connectors should already have the same fsid, so we use the cached
fsid from the first connector.

Detaching of mark connector from fsnotify_put_mark() can race with
unmounting of the filesystem like:
CPU1 CPU2
fsnotify_put_mark()
spin_lock(&conn->lock);
...
inode = fsnotify_detach_connector_from_object(conn)
spin_unlock(&conn->lock);
generic_shutdown_super()
fsnotify_unmount_inodes()
sees connector detached for inode
-> nothing to do
evict_inode()
barfs on pending inode reference
iput(inode);
Resulting in "Busy inodes after unmount" message and possible kernel
oops. Make fsnotify_unmount_inodes() properly wait for outstanding inode
references from detached connectors.
Note that the accounting of outstanding inode references in the
superblock can cause some cacheline contention on the counter. OTOH it
happens only during deletion of the last notification mark from an inode
(or during unlinking of watched inode) and that is not too bad. I have
measured time to create & delete inotify watch 100000 times from 64
processes in parallel (each process having its own inotify group and its
own file on a shared superblock) on a 64 CPU machine. Average and
standard deviation of 15 runs look like:
Avg Stddev
Vanilla 9.817400 0.276165
Fixed 9.710467 0.228294
So there's no statistically significant difference.

When inode is getting deleted and someone else holds reference to a mark
attached to the inode, we just detach the connector from the inode. In
that case fsnotify_put_mark() called from fsnotify_destroy_marks() will
decide to recalculate mask for the inode and __fsnotify_recalc_mask()
will WARN about invalid connector type:
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 12015 at fs/notify/mark.c:139
__fsnotify_recalc_mask+0x2d7/0x350 fs/notify/mark.c:139
Actually there's no reason to warn about detached connector in
__fsnotify_recalc_mask() so just silently skip updating the mask in such
case.

An fsnotify_mark_connector is referencing a single type of object
(either inode or vfsmount). Instead of storing a type mask in
connector->flags, store a single type id in connector->type to
identify the type of object.
When a connector object is detached from the object, its type is set
to FSNOTIFY_OBJ_TYPE_DETACHED and this object is not going to be
reused.
The function fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group() is the only place where
type mask was used, so use type flags instead of type id to this
function.
This change is going to be more convenient when adding a new object
type (super block).

atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference
counters with the following properties:
- counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set()
- a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero
- once counter reaches zero, its further
increments aren't allowed
- counter schema uses basic atomic operations
(set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.)
Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided
refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows
and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows
can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable.
The variable fsnotify_mark.refcnt is used as pure reference counter.
Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations.

Blind increment of group's user_waits is not enough, we could be far enough
in the group's destruction that it isn't taken into account (i.e. grabbing
the mark ref afterwards doesn't guarantee that it was the ref coming from
the _group_ that was grabbed).

fanotify wants to drop fsnotify_mark_srcu lock when waiting for response
from userspace so that the whole notification subsystem is not blocked
during that time. This patch provides a framework for safely getting
mark reference for a mark found in the object list which pins the mark
in that list. We can then drop fsnotify_mark_srcu, wait for userspace
response and then safely continue iteration of the object list once we
reaquire fsnotify_mark_srcu.

Currently we queue all marks for destruction on group shutdown and then
destroy them from fsnotify_destroy_group() instead from a worker thread
which is the usual path. However worker can already be processing some
list of marks to destroy so this does not make 100% all marks are really
destroyed by the time group is shut down. This isn't a big problem as
each mark holds group reference and thus group stays partially alive
until all marks are really freed but there's no point in complicating
our lives - just wait for the delayed work to be finished instead.

Currently we queue mark into a list of marks for destruction in
__fsnotify_free_mark() and keep the last mark reference dangling. After the
worker waits for SRCU period, it drops the last reference to the mark
which frees it. This scheme has the disadvantage that if we hold
reference to a mark and drop and reacquire SRCU lock, the mark can get
freed immediately which is slightly inconvenient and we will need to
avoid this in the future.
Move to a scheme where queueing of mark into a list of marks for
destruction happens when the last reference to the mark is dropped. Also
drop reference to the mark held by group list already when mark is
removed from that list instead of dropping it only from the destruction
worker.

So far list of marks attached to an object (inode / vfsmount) was
protected by i_lock or mnt_root->d_lock. This dictates that the list
must be empty before the object can be destroyed although the list is
now anchored in the fsnotify_mark_connector structure. Protect the list
by a spinlock in the fsnotify_mark_connector structure to decouple
lifetime of a list of marks from a lifetime of the object. This also
simplifies the code quite a bit since we don't have to differentiate
between inode and vfsmount lists in quite a few places anymore.

and later it will become problematic as we will free the connector as
soon as there is no mark in it. So move recalculation of fsnotify mask
into the same critical section that is detaching mark.
This also removes recalculation of child dentry flags from

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.

Inotify instance is destroyed when all references to it are dropped.
That not only means that the corresponding file descriptor needs to be
closed but also that all corresponding instance marks are freed (as each
mark holds a reference to the inotify instance). However marks are
freed only after SRCU period ends which can take some time and thus if
user rapidly creates and frees inotify instances, number of existing
inotify instances can exceed max_user_instances limit although from user
point of view there is always at most one existing instance. Thus
inotify_init() returns EMFILE error which is hard to justify from user
point of view. This problem is exposed by LTP inotify06 testcase on
some machines.
We fix the problem by making sure all group marks are properly freed
while destroying inotify instance. We wait for SRCU period to end in
that path anyway since we have to make sure there is no event being
added to the instance while we are tearing down the instance. So it
takes only some plumbing to allow for marks to be destroyed in that path
as well and not from a dedicated work item.

This reverts commit c510eff6beba ("fsnotify: destroy marks with
call_srcu instead of dedicated thread").
Eryu reported that he was seeing some OOM kills kick in when running a
testcase that adds and removes inotify marks on a file in a tight loop.
The above commit changed the code to use call_srcu to clean up the
marks. While that does (in principle) work, the srcu callback job is
limited to cleaning up entries in small batches and only once per jiffy.
It's easily possible to overwhelm that machinery with too many call_srcu
callbacks, and Eryu's reproduer did just that.
There's also another potential problem with using call_srcu here. While
you can obviously sleep while holding the srcu_read_lock, the callbacks
run under local_bh_disable, so you can't sleep there.
It's possible when putting the last reference to the fsnotify_mark that
we'll end up putting a chain of references including the fsnotify_group,
uid, and associated keys. While I don't see any obvious ways that that
could occurs, it's probably still best to avoid using call_srcu here
after all.
This patch reverts the above patch. A later patch will take a different
approach to eliminated the dedicated thread here.

At the time that this code was originally written, call_srcu didn't
exist, so this thread was required to ensure that we waited for that
SRCU grace period to settle before finally freeing the object.
It does exist now however and we can much more efficiently use call_srcu
to handle this. That also allows us to potentially use srcu_barrier to
ensure that they are all of the callbacks have run before proceeding.
In order to conserve space, we union the rcu_head with the g_list.
This will be necessary for nfsd which will allocate marks from a
dedicated slabcache. We have to be able to ensure that all of the
objects are destroyed before destroying the cache. That's fairly

fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked() is subtle to use because it temporarily
releases group->mark_mutex. To avoid future problems with this
function, split it into two.
fsnotify_detach_mark() is the part that needs group->mark_mutex and
fsnotify_free_mark() is the part that must be called outside of
group->mark_mutex. This way it's much clearer what's going on and we
also avoid some pointless acquisitions of group->mark_mutex.

Free list is used when all marks on given inode / mount should be
destroyed when inode / mount is going away. However we can free all of
the marks without using a special list with some care.
