Add flags argument to fsnotify_alloc_group(), define and use the flag
FSNOTIFY_GROUP_USER in inotify and fanotify instead of the helper
fsnotify_alloc_user_group() to indicate user allocation.

Although the flag FSNOTIFY_GROUP_USER is currently not used after group
allocation, we store the flags argument in the group struct for future
use of other group flags.

Clarify argument names and contract for fsnotify_create() and
fsnotify_mkdir() to reflect the anomaly of kernfs, which leaves dentries
negavite after mkdir/create.

Remove the WARN_ON(!inode) in audit code that were added by the Fixes
commit under the wrong assumption that dentries cannot be negative after
mkdir/create.

<title>audit: add filtering for io_uring records</title>

<id>67daf270cebcf7aab4b3292b36f9adf357b23ddc</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds basic audit io_uring filtering, using as much of the
existing audit filtering infrastructure as possible.  In order to do
this we reuse the audit filter rule's syscall mask for the io_uring
operation and we create a new filter for io_uring operations as
AUDIT_FILTER_URING_EXIT/audit_filter_list[7].

Thanks to Richard Guy Briggs for his review, feedback, and work on
the corresponding audit userspace changes.

The handle_inode_event() interface was added as (quoting comment):
"a simple variant of handle_event() for groups that only have inode
marks and don't have ignore mask".

In other words, all backends except fanotify.  The inotify backend
also falls under this category, but because it required extra arguments
it was left out of the initial pass of backends conversion to the
simple interface.

This results in code duplication between the generic helper
fsnotify_handle_event() and the inotify_handle_event() callback
which also happen to be buggy code.

Generalize the handle_inode_event() arguments and add the check for
FS_EXCL_UNLINK flag to the generic helper, so inotify backend could
be converted to use the simple interface.

The method handle_event() grew a lot of complexity due to the design of
fanotify and merging of ignore masks.

Most backends do not care about this complex functionality, so we can hide
this complexity from them.

Introduce a method handle_inode_event() that serves those backends and
passes a single inode mark and less arguments.

This change converts all backends except fanotify and inotify to use the
simplified handle_inode_event() method.  In pricipal, inotify could have
also used the new method, but that would require passing more arguments
on the simple helper (data, data_type, cookie), so we leave it with the
handle_event() method.

<title>audit: do not set FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD in audit marks mask</title>

The audit group marks mask does not contain any events possible on
a child so setting the flag FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD in the mask is counter
productive.

It may lead to the undesired outcome of setting the dentry flag
DCACHE_FSNOTIFY_PARENT_WATCHED on a directory inode even though it is
not watching children, because the audit mark contribute the flag
FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD to the inode's fsnotify_mask and another mark could
be contributing an event that is possible on child to the inode's mask.

Furthermore in the following patches we want to use FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD
for non-dir inodes for other purposes so stop using the flag.

<title>fsnotify: pass dir argument to handle_event() callback</title>

<content type='text'>
The 'inode' argument to handle_event(), sometimes referred to as
'to_tell' is somewhat obsolete.
It is a remnant from the times when a group could only have an inode mark
associated with an event.

We now pass an iter_info array to the callback, with all marks associated
with an event.

Most backends ignore this argument, with two exceptions:
1. dnotify uses it for sanity check that event is on directory
2. fanotify uses it to report fid of directory on directory entry
   modification events

Remove the 'inode' argument and add a 'dir' argument.
The callback function signature is deliberately changed, because
the meaning of the argument has changed and the arguments have
been documented.

The 'dir' argument is set to when 'file_name' is specified and it is
referring to the directory that the 'file_name' entry belongs to.
