fsnotify: don't BUG in fsnotify_destroy_mark()

2012-01-15T02:01:42+00:00

Removing the parent of a watched file results in "kernel BUG at
fs/notify/mark.c:139".

To reproduce

  add "-w /tmp/audit/dir/watched_file" to audit.rules
  rm -rf /tmp/audit/dir

This is caused by fsnotify_destroy_mark() being called without an
extra reference taken by the caller.

Reported by Francesco Cosoleto here:

  https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689860

Fix by removing the BUG_ON and adding a comment about not accessing mark after
the iput.

fs: rename inode_lock to inode_hash_lock

2011-03-25T01:17:51+00:00

All that remains of the inode_lock is protecting the inode hash list
manipulation and traversals. Rename the inode_lock to
inode_hash_lock to reflect it's actual function.

fsnotify: remove global fsnotify groups lists

2010-07-28T14:18:54+00:00

The global fsnotify groups lists were invented as a way to increase the
performance of fsnotify by shortcutting events which were not interesting.
With the changes to walk the object lists rather than global groups lists
these shortcuts are not useful.

fsnotify: Exchange list heads instead of moving elements

2010-07-28T14:18:52+00:00

Instead of moving list elements from destroy_list to &private_destroy_list,
exchange the list heads.

fsnotify: srcu to protect read side of inode and vfsmount locks

2010-07-28T14:18:52+00:00

Currently reading the inode->i_fsnotify_marks or
vfsmount->mnt_fsnotify_marks lists are protected by a spinlock on both the
read and the write side.  This patch protects the read side of those lists
with a new single srcu.

fsnotify: use an explicit flag to indicate fsnotify_destroy_mark has been called

2010-07-28T14:18:52+00:00

Currently fsnotify check is mark->group is NULL to decide if
fsnotify_destroy_mark() has already been called or not.  With the upcoming
rcu work it is a heck of a lot easier to use an explicit flag than worry
about group being set to NULL.

fsnotify: call iput on inodes when no longer marked

2010-07-28T13:59:02+00:00

fsnotify takes an igrab on an inode when it adds a mark.  The code was
supposed to drop the reference when the mark was removed but didn't.
This caused problems when an fs was unmounted because those inodes would
clearly not be gone.  Thus resulting in the most devistating of messages:

VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of loop0. Self-destruct in 5 seconds.
>>> Have a nice day...

Jiri Slaby bisected the problem to a patch in the fsnotify tree.  The
code snippets below show my stupidity quite clearly.

void fsnotify_destroy_inode_mark(struct fsnotify_mark *mark)
{
	...
	mark->inode = NULL;
	...
}

void fsnotify_destroy_mark(struct fsnotify_mark *mark)
{
	struct inode *inode = NULL;
	...
	if (mark->flags & FSNOTIFY_MARK_FLAG_INODE) {
		fsnotify_destroy_inode_mark(mark);
		inode = mark->i.inode;
	}
	...
	if (inode)
		iput(inode);
	...
}

Obviously the intent was to capture the inode before it was set to NULL in
fsnotify_destory_inode_mark() so we wouldn't be leaking inodes forever.
Instead we leaked them (and exploded on umount)

fanotify: clear all fanotify marks

2010-07-28T13:59:00+00:00

fanotify listeners may want to clear all marks.  They may want to do this
to destroy all of their inode marks which have nothing but ignores.
Realistically this is useful for av vendors who update policy and want to
clear all of their cached allows.
