Remove the "#ifdef __KERNEL__" tests from unexported header files in
linux/include whose entire contents are wrapped in that preprocessor
test.

inotify: send IN_ATTRIB events when link count changes

2008-02-06T18:41:05+00:00

Currently, no notification event has been sent when inode's link count
changed.  This is inconvenient for the application in some cases:

Suppose you have the following directory structure

    foo/test
    bar/

and you watch test.  If someone does "mv foo/test bar/", you get event
IN_MOVE_SELF and you know something has happened with the file "test".
However if someone does "ln foo/test bar/test" and "rm foo/test" you get no
inotify event for the file "test" (only directories "foo" and "bar" receive
events).

Furthermore it could be argued that link count belongs to file's metadata and
thus IN_ATTRIB should be sent when it changes.

The following patch implements sending of IN_ATTRIB inotify events when link
count of the inode changes, i.e., when a hardlink to the inode is created or
when it is removed.  This event is sent in addition to all the events sent so
far.  In particular, when a last link to a file is removed, IN_ATTRIB event is
sent in addition to IN_DELETE_SELF event.

[PATCH] VFS: change struct file to use struct path

2006-12-08T16:28:41+00:00

This patch changes struct file to use struct path instead of having
independent pointers to struct dentry and struct vfsmount, and converts all
users of f_{dentry,vfsmnt} in fs/ to use f_path.{dentry,mnt}.

Additionally, it adds two #define's to make the transition easier for users of
the f_dentry and f_vfsmnt.

[PATCH] fix missed create event for directory audit

2006-08-03T14:50:30+00:00

When an object is created via a symlink into an audited directory, audit misses
the event due to not having collected the inode data for the directory.  Modify
__audit_inode_child() to copy the parent inode data if a parent wasn't found in
audit_names[].

[PATCH] log more info for directory entry change events

2006-06-20T09:25:28+00:00

When an audit event involves changes to a directory entry, include
a PATH record for the directory itself.  A few other notable changes:

    - fixed audit_inode_child() hooks in fsnotify_move()
    - removed unused flags arg from audit_inode()
    - added audit log routines for logging a portion of a string

Here's some sample output.

[PATCH] inotify: lock avoidance with parent watch status in dentry

2006-03-25T16:22:53+00:00

Previous inotify work avoidance is good when inotify is completely unused,
but it breaks down if even a single watch is in place anywhere in the
system.  Robin Holt notices that udev is one such culprit - it slows down a
512-thread application on a 512 CPU system from 6 seconds to 22 minutes.

Solve this by adding a flag in the dentry that tells inotify whether or not
its parent inode has a watch on it.  Event queueing to parent will skip
taking locks if this flag is cleared.  Setting and clearing of this flag on
all child dentries versus event delivery: this is no in terms of race
cases, and that was shown to be equivalent to always performing the check.

The essential behaviour is that activity occuring _after_ a watch has been
added and _before_ it has been removed, will generate events.

[PATCH] Collect more inode information during syscall processing.

2006-03-20T19:08:53+00:00

This patch augments the collection of inode info during syscall
processing. It represents part of the functionality that was provided
by the auditfs patch included in RHEL4.

Specifically, it:

- Collects information for target inodes created or removed during
  syscalls.  Previous code only collects information for the target
  inode's parent.

- Adds the audit_inode() hook to syscalls that operate on a file
  descriptor (e.g. fchown), enabling audit to do inode filtering for
  these calls.

- Modifies filtering code to check audit context for either an inode #
  or a parent inode # matching a given rule.

- Modifies logging to provide inode # for both parent and child.

- Protect debug info from NULL audit_names.name.
