These guys are what we add as submounts; checks for "is that attached in our namespace" are simply irrelevant for those and counterproductive for use of private vfsmount trees a-la what NFS folks want. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

New field: nd->root. When pathname resolution wants to know the root, check if nd->root.mnt is non-NULL; use nd->root if it is, otherwise copy current->fs->root there. After path_walk() is finished, we check if we'd got a cached value in nd->root and drop it. Before calling path_walk() we should either set nd->root.mnt to NULL *or* copy (and pin down) some path to nd->root. In the latter case we won't be looking at current->fs->root at all.

Split do_path_lookup(), opencode the call from do_filp_open() do_filp_open() is the only caller of do_path_lookup() that cares about root afterwards (it keeps resolving symlinks on O_CREAT path after it'd done LOOKUP_PARENT walk). So when we start caching fs->root in path_walk(), it'll need a different treatment. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

inotify and dnotify will both indicate that they want any event which came from a child inode. The fix is to mask off FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD when deciding if inotify or dnotify is interested in a given event. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

entry->lock is needed to make sure entry->mask does not change while manipulating it. In dnotify_should_send_event() we don't care if we get an old or a new mask value out of this entry so there is no point it taking the lock. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

fsnotify tells its listeners explicitly when an event happened on the given inode verses on the child of the given inode. (see __fsnotify_parent) However, the semantics of fsnotify_move() are such that we deliver events directly to the two parent directories in question (old_dir and new_dir) directly without using the __fsnotify_parent() call. fsnotify should be adding FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD for the notifications to these parents.

Reimplement inotify_user using fsnotify. This should be feature for feature exactly the same as the original inotify_user. This does not make any changes to the in kernel inotify feature used by audit. Those patches (and the eventual removal of in kernel inotify) will come after the new inotify_user proves to be working correctly.

This patch pins any inodes with an fsnotify mark in core. The idea is that as soon as the mark is removed from the inode->fsnotify_mark_entries list the inode will be iput. In reality is doesn't quite work exactly this way. The igrab will happen when the mark is added to an inode, but the iput will happen when the inode pointer is NULL'd inside the mark. It's possible that 2 racing things will try to remove the mark from different directions. One may try to remove the mark because of an explicit request and one might try to remove it because the inode was deleted. It's possible that the removal because of inode deletion will remove the mark from the inode's list, but the removal by explicit request will actually set entry->inode == NULL; and call the iput. This is safe. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Acked-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

inotify needs to do asyc notification in which event information is stored on a queue until the listener is ready to receive it.

inotify and dnotify both use a similar parent notification mechanism. We add a generic parent notification mechanism to fsnotify for both of these to use.

This patch creates a way for fsnotify groups to attach marks to inodes. These marks have little meaning to the generic fsnotify infrastructure and thus their meaning should be interpreted by the group that attached them to the inode's list. dnotify and inotify will make use of these markings to indicate which inodes are of interest to their respective groups. But this implementation has the useful property that in the future other listeners could actually use the marks for the exact opposite reason, aka to indicate which inodes it had NO interest in.

fsnotify is a backend for filesystem notification. fsnotify does not provide any userspace interface but does provide the basis needed for other notification schemes such as dnotify. fsnotify can be extended to be the backend for inotify or the upcoming fanotify. fsnotify provides a mechanism for "groups" to register for some set of filesystem events and to then deliver those events to those groups for processing. fsnotify has a number of benefits, the first being actually shrinking the size of an inode. Before fsnotify to support both dnotify and inotify an inode had unsigned long i_dnotify_mask; /* Directory notify events */ struct dnotify_struct *i_dnotify; /* for directory notifications */ struct list_head inotify_watches; /* watches on this inode */ struct mutex inotify_mutex; /* protects the watches list But with fsnotify this same functionallity (and more) is done with just __u32 i_fsnotify_mask; /* all events for this inode */ struct hlist_head i_fsnotify_mark_entries; /* marks on this inode */ That's right, inotify, dnotify, and fanotify all in 64 bits. We used that much space just in inotify_watches alone, before this patch set. fsnotify object lifetime and locking is MUCH better than what we have today. inotify locking is incredibly complex. See 8f7b0ba1 as an example of what's been busted since inception. inotify needs to know internal semantics of superblock destruction and unmounting to function. The inode pinning and vfs contortions are horrible. no fsnotify implementers do allocation under locks. This means things like f04b30de which (due to an overabundance of caution) changes GFP_KERNEL to GFP_NOFS can be reverted. There are no longer any allocation rules when using or implementing your own fsnotify listener. fsnotify paves the way for fanotify. In brief fanotify is a notification mechanism that delivers the lisener both an 'event' and an open file descriptor to the object in question. This means that fanotify is pathname agnostic. Some on lkml may not care for the original companies or users that pushed for TALPA, but fanotify was designed with flexibility and input for other users in mind. The readahead group expressed interest in fanotify as it could be used to profile disk access on boot without breaking the audit system. The desktop search groups have also expressed interest in fanotify as it solves a number of the race conditions and problems present with managing inotify when more than a limited number of specific files are of interest. fanotify can provide for a userspace access control system which makes it a clean interface for AV vendors to hook without trying to do binary patching on the syscall table, LSM, and everywhere else they do their things today. With this patch series fanotify can be implemented in less than 1200 lines of easy to review code. Almost all of which is the socket based user interface. This patch series builds fsnotify to the point that it can implement dnotify and inotify_user. Patches exist and will be sent soon after acceptance to finish the in kernel inotify conversion (audit) and implement fanotify.
