<title>fanotify: use notification_lock instead of access_lock</title>

Fanotify code has its own lock (access_lock) to protect a list of events
waiting for a response from userspace.

However this is somewhat awkward as the same list_head in the event is
protected by notification_lock if it is part of the notification queue
and by access_lock if it is part of the fanotify private queue which
makes it difficult for any reliable checks in the generic code.  So make
fanotify use the same lock - notification_lock - for protecting its
private event list.

notification_mutex is used to protect the list of pending events.  As such
there's no reason to use a sleeping lock for it.  Convert it to a
spinlock.

<title>fsnotify: drop notification_mutex before destroying event</title>

fsnotify_flush_notify() and fanotify_release() destroy notification
event while holding notification_mutex.

The destruction of fanotify event includes a path_put() call which may
end up calling into a filesystem to delete an inode if we happen to be
the last holders of dentry reference which happens to be the last holder
of inode reference.

That in turn may violate lock ordering for some filesystems since
notification_mutex is also acquired e. g. during write when generating
fanotify event.

Also this is the only thing that forces notification_mutex to be a
sleeping lock.  So drop notification_mutex before destroying a
notification event.

fanotify_get_response() calls fsnotify_remove_event() when it finds that
group is being released from fanotify_release() (bypass_perm is set).

However the event it removes need not be only in the group's notification
queue but it can have already moved to access_list (userspace read the
event before closing the fanotify instance fd) which is protected by a
different lock.  Thus when fsnotify_remove_event() races with
fanotify_release() operating on access_list, the list can get corrupted.

Fix the problem by moving all the logic removing permission events from
the lists to one place - fanotify_release().

fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked() is subtle to use because it temporarily
releases group-&gt;mark_mutex.  To avoid future problems with this
function, split it into two.

fsnotify_detach_mark() is the part that needs group-&gt;mark_mutex and
fsnotify_free_mark() is the part that must be called outside of
group-&gt;mark_mutex.  This way it's much clearer what's going on and we
also avoid some pointless acquisitions of group-&gt;mark_mutex.

<title>fanotify: fix event filtering with FAN_ONDIR set</title>

<id>b3c1030d50bad39383fcfa6721bd3c35463b3f3f</id>
<content type='text'>
With FAN_ONDIR set, the user can end up getting events, which it hasn't
marked.  This was revealed with fanotify04 testcase failure on
Linux-4.0-rc1, and is a regression from 3.19, revealed with 66ba93c0d7fe6
("fanotify: don't set FAN_ONDIR implicitly on a marks ignored mask").

   # /opt/ltp/testcases/bin/fanotify04
   [ ... ]
  fanotify04    7  TPASS  :  event generated properly for type 100000
  fanotify04    8  TFAIL  :  fanotify04.c:147: got unexpected event 30
  fanotify04    9  TPASS  :  No event as expected

The testcase sets the adds the following marks : FAN_OPEN | FAN_ONDIR for
a fanotify on a dir.  Then does an open(), followed by close() of the
directory and expects to see an event FAN_OPEN(0x20).  However, the
fanotify returns (FAN_OPEN|FAN_CLOSE_NOWRITE(0x10)).  This happens due to
the flaw in the check for event_mask in fanotify_should_send_event() which
does:

	if (event_mask &amp; marks_mask &amp; ~marks_ignored_mask)
		return true;

where, event_mask == (FAN_ONDIR | FAN_CLOSE_NOWRITE),
       marks_mask == (FAN_ONDIR | FAN_OPEN),
       marks_ignored_mask == 0

Fix this by masking the outgoing events to the user, as we already take
care of FAN_ONDIR and FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD.

Convert the following where appropriate:

 (1) S_ISLNK(dentry-&gt;d_inode) to d_is_symlink(dentry).

 (2) S_ISREG(dentry-&gt;d_inode) to d_is_reg(dentry).

 (3) S_ISDIR(dentry-&gt;d_inode) to d_is_dir(dentry).  This is actually more
     complicated than it appears as some calls should be converted to
     d_can_lookup() instead.  The difference is whether the directory in
     question is a real dir with a -&gt;lookup op or whether it's a fake dir with
     a -&gt;d_automount op.

In some circumstances, we can subsume checks for dentry-&gt;d_inode not being
NULL into this, provided we the code isn't in a filesystem that expects
d_inode to be NULL if the dirent really *is* negative (ie. if we're going to
use d_inode() rather than d_backing_inode() to get the inode pointer).

Note that the dentry type field may be set to something other than
DCACHE_MISS_TYPE when d_inode is NULL in the case of unionmount, where the VFS
manages the fall-through from a negative dentry to a lower layer.  In such a
case, the dentry type of the negative union dentry is set to the same as the
type of the lower dentry.

However, if you know d_inode is not NULL at the call site, then you can use
the d_is_xxx() functions even in a filesystem.

There is one further complication: a 0,0 chardev dentry may be labelled
DCACHE_WHITEOUT_TYPE rather than DCACHE_SPECIAL_TYPE.  Strictly, this was
intended for special directory entry types that don't have attached inodes.

The following perl+coccinelle script was used:

use strict;

my @callers;
open($fd, 'git grep -l \'S_IS[A-Z].*-&gt;d_inode\' |') ||
    die "Can't grep for S_ISDIR and co. callers";
@callers = &lt;$fd&gt;;
close($fd);
unless (@callers) {
    print "No matches\n";
    exit(0);
}

my @cocci = (
    '@@',
    'expression E;',
    '@@',
    '',
    '- S_ISLNK(E-&gt;d_inode-&gt;i_mode)',
    '+ d_is_symlink(E)',
    '',
    '@@',
    'expression E;',
    '@@',
    '',
    '- S_ISDIR(E-&gt;d_inode-&gt;i_mode)',
    '+ d_is_dir(E)',
    '',
    '@@',
    'expression E;',
    '@@',
    '',
    '- S_ISREG(E-&gt;d_inode-&gt;i_mode)',
    '+ d_is_reg(E)' );

my $coccifile = "tmp.sp.cocci";
open($fd, "&gt;$coccifile") || die $coccifile;
print($fd "$_\n") || die $coccifile foreach (@cocci);
close($fd);

foreach my $file (@callers) {
    chomp $file;
    print "Processing ", $file, "\n";
    system("spatch", "--sp-file", $coccifile, $file, "--in-place", "--no-show-diff") == 0 ||
	die "spatch failed";
}
