commit ff311008ab8d2f2cfdbbefd407d1b05acc8164b2 upstream.

During the large inotify rewrite to fsnotify I completely dropped support
for IN_ONESHOT.  Reimplement that support.

commit 611da04f7a31b2208e838be55a42c7a1310ae321 upstream.

Since the .31 or so notify rewrite inotify has not sent events about
inodes which are unmounted.  This patch restores those events.

commit b3b38d842fa367d862b83e7670af4e0fd6a80fc0 upstream.

inotify_new_group() receives a get_uid-ed user_struct and saves the
reference on group-&gt;inotify_data.user.  The problem is that free_uid() is
never called on it.

Issue seem to be introduced by 63c882a0 (inotify: reimplement inotify
using fsnotify) after 2.6.30.

<title>inotify: race use after free/double free in inotify inode marks</title>

commit e08733446e72b983fed850fc5d8bd21b386feb29 upstream.

There is a race in the inotify add/rm watch code.  A task can find and
remove a mark which doesn't have all of it's references.  This can
result in a use after free/double free situation.

Task A					Task B
------------				-----------
inotify_new_watch()
 allocate a mark (refcnt == 1)
 add it to the idr
					inotify_rm_watch()
					 inotify_remove_from_idr()
					  fsnotify_put_mark()
					      refcnt hits 0, free
 take reference because we are on idr
 [at this point it is a use after free]
 [time goes on]
 refcnt may hit 0 again, double free

The fix is to take the reference BEFORE the object can be found in the
idr.

commit 976ae32be45a736acd49215a7e4771ff91f161c3 upstream.

inotify will WARN() if it finds that the idr and the fsnotify internals
somehow got out of sync.  It was only supposed to do this once but due
to this stupid bug it would warn every single time a problem was
detected.

<title>inotify: do not reuse watch descriptors</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 9e572cc9877ee6c43af60778f6b8d5ba0692d935 upstream.

Since commit 7e790dd5fc937bc8d2400c30a05e32a9e9eef276 ("inotify: fix
error paths in inotify_update_watch") inotify changed the manor in which
it gave watch descriptors back to userspace.  Previous to this commit
inotify acted like the following:

  inotify_add_watch(X, Y, Z) = 1
  inotify_rm_watch(X, 1);
  inotify_add_watch(X, Y, Z) = 2

but after this patch inotify would return watch descriptors like so:

  inotify_add_watch(X, Y, Z) = 1
  inotify_rm_watch(X, 1);
  inotify_add_watch(X, Y, Z) = 1

which I saw as equivalent to opening an fd where

  open(file) = 1;
  close(1);
  open(file) = 1;

seemed perfectly reasonable.  The issue is that quite a bit of userspace
apparently relies on the behavior in which watch descriptors will not be
quickly reused.  KDE relies on it, I know some selinux packages rely on
it, and I have heard complaints from other random sources such as debian
bug 558981.

Although the man page implies what we do is ok, we broke userspace so
this patch almost reverts us to the old behavior.  It is still slightly
racey and I have patches that would fix that, but they are rather large
and this will fix it for all real world cases.  The race is as follows:

 - task1 creates a watch and blocks in idr_new_watch() before it updates
   the hint.
 - task2 creates a watch and updates the hint.
 - task1 updates the hint with it's older wd
 - task removes the watch created by task2
 - task adds a new watch and will reuse the wd originally given to task2

it requires moving some locking around the hint (last_wd) but this should
solve it for the real world and be -stable safe.

As a side effect this patch papers over a bug in the lib/idr code which
is causing a large number WARN's to pop on people's system and many
reports in kerneloops.org.  I'm working on the root cause of that idr
bug seperately but this should make inotify immune to that issue.

Mask off FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD in dnotify_handle_event().  Otherwise, when there
is more than one watch on a directory and dnotify_should_send_event()
succeeds, events with FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD set will trigger all watches and cause
spurious events.

This case was overlooked in commit e42e2773.

If we do rename a dir entry, like this:

  rename("/tmp/ino7UrgoJ.rename1", "/tmp/ino7UrgoJ.rename2")
  rename("/tmp/ino7UrgoJ.rename2", "/tmp/ino7UrgoJ")

The duplicate events should be coalesced into a single event. But those two
events do not be coalesced into a single event, due to some bad check in
event_compare(). It can not match the two NULL inodes as the same event.

fsnotify_add_mark is supposed to add a mark to the g_list and i_list and to
set the group and inode for the mark.  fsnotify_destroy_mark_by_entry uses
the fact that -&gt;group != NULL to know if this group should be destroyed or
if it's already been done.

But fsnotify_add_mark sets the group and inode before it actually adds the
mark to the i_list and g_list.  This can result in a race in inotify, it
requires 3 threads.

sys_inotify_add_watch("file")	sys_inotify_add_watch("file")	sys_inotify_rm_watch([a])
inotify_update_watch()
inotify_new_watch()
inotify_add_to_idr()
   ^--- returns wd = [a]
				inotfiy_update_watch()
				inotify_new_watch()
				inotify_add_to_idr()
				fsnotify_add_mark()
				   ^--- returns wd = [b]
				returns to userspace;
								inotify_idr_find([a])
								   ^--- gives us the pointer from task 1
fsnotify_add_mark()
   ^--- this is going to set the mark-&gt;group and mark-&gt;inode fields, but will
return -EEXIST because of the race with [b].
								fsnotify_destroy_mark()
								   ^--- since -&gt;group != NULL we call back
									into inotify_freeing_mark() which calls
								inotify_remove_from_idr([a])

since fsnotify_add_mark() failed we call:
inotify_remove_from_idr([a])     &lt;------WHOOPS it's not in the idr, this could
					have been any entry added later!

The fix is to make sure we don't set mark-&gt;group until we are sure the mark is
on the inode and fsnotify_add_mark will return success.

Seperating the addition and update of marks in inotify resulted in a
regression in that inotify never gets events.  The inotify group mask is
always 0.  This mask should be updated any time a new mark is added.
