From 6b3f05d24d355f50f3d9814304650fcab0efb482 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2016 12:15:30 +0100 Subject: fsnotify: Detach mark from object list when last reference is dropped Instead of removing mark from object list from fsnotify_detach_mark(), remove the mark when last reference to the mark is dropped. This will allow fanotify to wait for userspace response to event without having to hold onto fsnotify_mark_srcu. To avoid pinning inodes by elevated refcount (and thus e.g. delaying file deletion) while someone holds mark reference, we detach connector from the object also from fsnotify_destroy_marks() and not only after removing last mark from the list as it was now.
