An inotify watch on a directory will send events for children even if those

This should fix performance problems seen by tasks which add a watch to

writing to unlinked files they created in /tmp.

Each group can define their own notification (and secondary_q) merge
function. Inotify does tail drop, fanotify does matching and drop which
can actually allocate a completely new event. But for fanotify to properly
deal with permissions events it needs to know the new event which was
ultimately added to the notification queue. This patch just implements a
void ** argument which is passed to the merge function. fanotify can use
this field to pass the new event back to higher layers.

for fanotify to properly deal with permissions events
This introduces an ordering to fsnotify groups. With purely asynchronous
notification based "things" implementing fsnotify (inotify, dnotify) ordering
isn't particularly important. But if people want to use fsnotify for the
basis of sycronous notification or blocking notification ordering becomes
important.
eg. A Hierarchical Storage Management listener would need to get its event
before an AV scanner could get its event (since the HSM would need to
bring the data in for the AV scanner to scan.) Typically asynchronous notification
would want to run after the AV scanner made any relevant access decisions
so as to not send notification about an event that was denied.

Change the sys_fanotify_mark() system call so users can set ignored_masks
on inodes. Remember, if a user new sets a real mask, and only sets ignored
masks, the ignore will never be pinned in memory. Thus ignored_masks can
be lost under memory pressure and the user may again get events they
previously thought were ignored.

The ignored_mask is a new mask which is part of fsnotify marks. A group's
should_send_event() function can use the ignored mask to determine that
certain events are not of interest. In particular if a group registers a
mask including FS_OPEN on a vfsmount they could add FS_OPEN to the
ignored_mask for individual inodes and not send open events for those
inodes.

inotify marks must pin inodes in core. dnotify doesn't technically need to
since they are closed when the directory is closed. fanotify also need to
pin inodes in core as it works today. But the next step is to introduce
the concept of 'ignored masks' which is actually a mask of events for an
inode of no interest. I claim that these should be liberally sent to the
kernel and should not pin the inode in core. If the inode is brought back
in the listener will get an event it may have thought excluded, but this is
not a serious situation and one any listener should deal with.
This patch lays the ground work for non-pinning inode marks by using lazy
inode pinning. We do not pin a mark until it has a non-zero mask entry. If a
listener new sets a mask we never pin the inode.

NAME
fanotify_mark - add, remove, or modify an fanotify mark on a
filesystem object
SYNOPSIS
int fanotify_mark(int fanotify_fd, unsigned int flags, u64 mask,
int dfd, const char *pathname)
DESCRIPTION
fanotify_mark() is used to add remove or modify a mark on a filesystem
object. Marks are used to indicate that the fanotify group is
interested in events which occur on that object. At this point in
time marks may only be added to files and directories.
fanotify_fd must be a file descriptor returned by fanotify_init()
The flags field must contain exactly one of the following:
FAN_MARK_ADD - or the bits in mask and ignored mask into the mark
FAN_MARK_REMOVE - bitwise remove the bits in mask and ignored mark
from the mark
The following values can be OR'd into the flags field:
FAN_MARK_DONT_FOLLOW - same meaning as O_NOFOLLOW as described in open(2)
FAN_MARK_ONLYDIR - same meaning as O_DIRECTORY as described in open(2)
dfd may be any of the following:
AT_FDCWD: the object will be lookup up based on pathname similar
to open(2)
file descriptor of a directory: if pathname is not NULL the
object to modify will be lookup up similar to openat(2)
file descriptor of the final object: if pathname is NULL the
object to modify will be the object referenced by dfd
The mask is the bitwise OR of the set of events of interest such as:
FAN_ACCESS - object was accessed (read)
FAN_MODIFY - object was modified (write)
FAN_CLOSE_WRITE - object was writable and was closed
FAN_CLOSE_NOWRITE - object was read only and was closed
FAN_OPEN - object was opened
FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD - interested in objected that happen to
children. Only relavent when the object
is a directory
FAN_Q_OVERFLOW - event queue overflowed (not implemented)
RETURN VALUE
On success, this system call returns 0. On error, -1 is
returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
EINVAL An invalid value was specified in flags.
EINVAL An invalid value was specified in mask.
EINVAL An invalid value was specified in ignored_mask.
EINVAL fanotify_fd is not a file descriptor as returned by
fanotify_init()
EBADF fanotify_fd is not a valid file descriptor
EBADF dfd is not a valid file descriptor and path is NULL.
ENOTDIR dfd is not a directory and path is not NULL
EACCESS no search permissions on some part of the path
ENENT file not found
ENOMEM Insufficient kernel memory is available.

NAME
fanotify_init - initialize an fanotify group
SYNOPSIS
int fanotify_init(unsigned int flags, unsigned int event_f_flags, int priority);
DESCRIPTION
fanotify_init() initializes a new fanotify instance and returns a file
descriptor associated with the new fanotify event queue.
The following values can be OR'd into the flags field:
FAN_NONBLOCK Set the O_NONBLOCK file status flag on the new open file description.
Using this flag saves extra calls to fcntl(2) to achieve the same
result.
FAN_CLOEXEC Set the close-on-exec (FD_CLOEXEC) flag on the new file descriptor.
See the description of the O_CLOEXEC flag in open(2) for reasons why
this may be useful.
The event_f_flags argument is unused and must be set to 0
The priority argument is unused and must be set to 0
RETURN VALUE
On success, this system call return a new file descriptor. On error, -1 is
returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
EINVAL An invalid value was specified in flags.
EINVAL A non-zero valid was passed in event_f_flags or in priority
ENFILE The system limit on the total number of file descriptors has been reached.
ENOMEM Insufficient kernel memory is available.
CONFORMING TO
These system calls are Linux-specific.

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.

This is a new f_mode which can only be set by the kernel. It indicates
that the fd was opened by fanotify and should not cause future fanotify
events. This is needed to prevent fanotify livelock. An example of
obvious livelock is from fanotify close events.
Process A closes file1
This creates a close event for file1.
fanotify opens file1 for Listener X
Listener X deals with the event and closes its fd for file1.
This creates a close event for file1.
