dcache_inode_lock can be replaced with per-inode locking. Use existing
inode-&gt;i_lock for this. This is slightly non-trivial because we sometimes
need to find the inode from the dentry, which requires d_inode to be
stabilised (either with refcount or d_lock).

Add a new lock, dcache_inode_lock, to protect the inode's i_dentry list
from concurrent modification. d_alias is also protected by d_lock.

Protect d_subdirs and d_child with d_lock, except in filesystems that aren't
using dcache_lock for these anyway (eg. using i_mutex).

Note: if we change the locking rule in future so that -&gt;d_child protection is
provided only with -&gt;d_parent-&gt;d_lock, it may allow us to reduce some locking.
But it would be an exception to an otherwise regular locking scheme, so we'd
have to see some good results. Probably not worthwhile.

fsnotify perm events do not call fsnotify parent.  That means you cannot
register a perm event on a directory and enforce permissions on all inodes in
that directory.  This patch fixes that situation.

When fsnotify groups return errors they are ignored.  For permissions
events these should be passed back up the stack, but for most events these
should continue to be ignored.

Use dget_parent instead of opencoding it.  This simplifies the code, but
more importanly prepares for the more complicated locking for a parent
dget in the dcache scale patch series.

It means we do grab a reference to the parent now if need to be watched,
but not with the specified mask.  If this turns out to be a problem
we'll have to revisit it, but for now let's keep as much as possible
dcache internals inside dcache.[ch].

The fsnotify main loop has 2 bools which indicated if we processed the
inode or vfsmount mark in that particular pass through the loop.  These
bool can we replaced with the inode_group and vfsmount_group variables
and actually make the code a little easier to understand.

Marks were stored on the inode and vfsmonut mark list in order from
highest memory address to lowest memory address.  The code to walk those
lists thought they were in order from lowest to highest with
unpredictable results when trying to match up marks from each.  It was
possible that extra events would be sent to userspace when inode
marks ignoring events wouldn't get matched with the vfsmount marks.

This problem only affected fanotify when using both vfsmount and inode
marks simultaneously.

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.
