fanotify: fix double free of pending permission events
Commit 85816794240b ("fanotify: Fix use after free for permission
events") introduced a double free issue for permission events which are
pending in group's notification queue while group is being destroyed.
These events are freed from fanotify_handle_event() but they are not
removed from groups notification queue and thus they get freed again
from fsnotify_flush_notify().
Fix the problem by removing permission events from notification queue
before freeing them if we skip processing access response. Also expand
comments in fanotify_release() to explain group shutdown in detail.

fsnotify: rename event handling functions
Rename fsnotify_add_notify_event() to fsnotify_add_event() since the
"notify" part is duplicit. Rename fsnotify_remove_notify_event() and
fsnotify_peek_notify_event() to fsnotify_remove_first_event() and
fsnotify_peek_first_event() respectively since "notify" part is duplicit
and they really look at the first event in the queue.

fanotify: use fanotify event structure for permission response processing
Currently, fanotify creates new structure to track the fact that
permission event has been reported to userspace and someone is waiting
for a response to it. As event structures are now completely in the
hands of each notification framework, we can use the event structure for
this tracking instead of allocating a new structure.
Since this makes the event structures for normal events and permission
events even more different and the structures have different lifetime
rules, we split them into two separate structures (where permission
event structure contains the structure for a normal event). This makes
normal events 8 bytes smaller and the code a tad bit cleaner.

If the event queue overflows when we are handling permission event, we

accordingly.

inotify: Fix reporting of cookies for inotify events
My rework of handling of notification events (namely commit 7053aee26a35
"fsnotify: do not share events between notification groups") broke
sending of cookies with inotify events. We didn't propagate the value
passed to fsnotify() properly and passed 4 uninitialized bytes to
userspace instead (so it is also an information leak). Sadly I didn't
notice this during my testing because inotify cookies aren't used very
much and LTP inotify tests ignore them.
Fix the problem by passing the cookie value properly.

Currently struct fanotify_event_info has been destroyed immediately

fsnotify: do not share events between notification groups
Currently fsnotify framework creates one event structure for each
notification event and links this event into all interested notification
groups. This is done so that we save memory when several notification
groups are interested in the event. However the need for event
structure shared between inotify & fanotify bloats the event structure
so the result is often higher memory consumption.
Another problem is that fsnotify framework keeps path references with
outstanding events so that fanotify can return open file descriptors
with its events. This has the undesirable effect that filesystem cannot
be unmounted while there are outstanding events - a regression for
inotify compared to a situation before it was converted to fsnotify
framework. For fanotify this problem is hard to avoid and users of
fanotify should kind of expect this behavior when they ask for file
descriptors from notified files.
This patch changes fsnotify and its users to create separate event
structure for each group. This allows for much simpler code (~400 lines
removed by this patch) and also smaller event structures. For example
on 64-bit system original struct fsnotify_event consumes 120 bytes, plus
additional space for file name, additional 24 bytes for second and each
subsequent group linking the event, and additional 32 bytes for each
inotify group for private data. After the conversion inotify event
consumes 48 bytes plus space for file name which is considerably less
memory unless file names are long and there are several groups
interested in the events (both of which are uncommon). Fanotify event
fits in 56 bytes after the conversion (fanotify doesn't care about file
names so its events don't have to have it allocated). A win unless
there are four or more fanotify groups interested in the event.
The conversion also solves the problem with unmount when only inotify is
used as we don't have to grab path references for inotify events.

fanotify: dont merge permission events
Boyd Yang reported a problem for the case that multiple threads of the same
thread group are waiting for a reponse for a permission event.
In this case it is possible that some of the threads are never woken up, even
if the response for the event has been received
(see http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=131822913806350&w=2).
The reason is that we are currently merging permission events if they belong to
the same thread group. But we are not prepared to wake up more than one waiter
for each event. We do
wait_event(group->fanotify_data.access_waitq, event->response ||
atomic_read(&group->fanotify_data.bypass_perm));
and after that
event->response = 0;
which is the reason that even if we woke up all waiters for the same event
some of them may see event->response being already set 0 again, then go back to
sleep and block forever.
With this patch we avoid that more than one thread is waiting for a response
by not merging permission events for the same thread group any more.

fanotify: on group destroy allow all waiters to bypass permission check
When fanotify_release() is called, there may still be processes waiting for
access permission. Currently only processes for which an event has already been
queued into the groups access list will be woken up. Processes for which no
event has been queued will continue to sleep and thus cause a deadlock when
fsnotify_put_group() is called.
Furthermore there is a race allowing further processes to be waiting on the
access wait queue after wake_up (if they arrive before clear_marks_by_group()
is called).
This patch corrects this by setting a flag to inform processes that the group
is about to be destroyed and thus not to wait for access permission.
[additional changelog from eparis]
Lets think about the 4 relevant code paths from the PoV of the
'operator' 'listener' 'responder' and 'closer'. Where operator is the
process doing an action (like open/read) which could require permission.
Listener is the task (or in this case thread) slated with reading from
the fanotify file descriptor. The 'responder' is the thread responsible
for responding to access requests. 'Closer' is the thread attempting to
close the fanotify file descriptor.
The 'operator' is going to end up in:
fanotify_handle_event()
get_response_from_access()
(THIS BLOCKS WAITING ON USERSPACE)
The 'listener' interesting code path
fanotify_read()
copy_event_to_user()
prepare_for_access_response()
(THIS CREATES AN fanotify_response_event)
The 'responder' code path:
fanotify_write()
process_access_response()
(REMOVE A fanotify_response_event, SET RESPONSE, WAKE UP 'operator')
The 'closer':
fanotify_release()
(SUPPOSED TO CLEAN UP THE REST OF THIS MESS)
What we have today is that in the closer we remove all of the
fanotify_response_events and set a bit so no more response events are
ever created in prepare_for_access_response().
The bug is that we never wake all of the operators up and tell them to
move along. You fix that in fanotify_get_response_from_access(). You
also fix other operators which haven't gotten there yet. So I agree
that's a good fix.

fanotify: ignore events on directories unless specifically requested
fanotify has a very limited number of events it sends on directories. The
usefulness of these events is yet to be seen and still we send them. This
is particularly painful for mount marks where one might receive many of
these useless events. As such this patch will drop events on IS_DIR()
inodes unless they were explictly requested with FAN_ON_DIR.
This means that a mark on a directory without FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD or
FAN_ON_DIR is meaningless and will result in no events ever (although it
will still be allowed since detecting it is hard)

fsnotify: split generic and inode specific mark code
currently all marking is done by functions in inode-mark.c. Some of this
is pretty generic and should be instead done in a generic function and we
should only put the inode specific code in inode-mark.c

fanotify: Add pids to events
Pass the process identifiers of the triggering processes to fanotify
listeners: this information is useful for event filtering and logging.

fanotify: do not clone on merge unless needed
Currently if 2 events are going to be merged on the notication queue with
different masks the second event will be cloned and will replace the first
event. However if this notification queue is the only place referencing
the event in question there is no reason not to just update the event in
place. We can tell this if the event->refcnt == 1. Since we hold a
reference for each queue this event is on we know that when refcnt == 1
this is the only queue. The other concern is that it might be about to be
added to a new queue, but this can't be the case since fsnotify holds a
reference on the event until it is finished adding it to queues.

fanotify: merge notification events with different masks
Instead of just merging fanotify events if they are exactly the same, merge
notification events with different masks. To do this we have to clone the
old event, update the mask in the new event with the new merged mask, and
put the new event in place of the old event.

fanotify:drop notification if they exist in the outgoing queue
fanotify listeners get an open file descriptor to the object in question so
the ordering of operations is not as important as in other notification
systems. inotify will drop events if the last event in the event FIFO is
the same as the current event. This patch will drop fanotify events if
they are the same as another event anywhere in the event FIFO.

fanotify: fscking all notification system
fanotify is a novel file notification system which bases notification on
giving userspace both an event type (open, close, read, write) and an open
file descriptor to the object in question. This should address a number of
races and problems with other notification systems like inotify and dnotify
and should allow the future implementation of blocking or access controlled
notification. These are useful for on access scanners or hierachical storage
management schemes.
This patch just implements the basics of the fsnotify functions.
