Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:
- Mount notifications
The day has come where we finally provide a new api to listen for
mount topology changes outside of /proc/<pid>/mountinfo. A mount
namespace file descriptor can be supplied and registered with
fanotify to listen for mount topology changes.
Currently notifications for mount, umount and moving mounts are
generated. The generated notification record contains the unique
mount id of the mount.
The listmount() and statmount() api can be used to query detailed
information about the mount using the received unique mount id.
This allows userspace to figure out exactly how the mount topology
changed without having to generating diffs of /proc/<pid>/mountinfo
in userspace.
- Support O_PATH file descriptors with FSCONFIG_SET_FD in the new mount
api
- Support detached mounts in overlayfs
Since last cycle we support specifying overlayfs layers via file
descriptors. However, we don't allow detached mounts which means
userspace cannot user file descriptors received via
open_tree(OPEN_TREE_CLONE) and fsmount() directly. They have to
attach them to a mount namespace via move_mount() first.
This is cumbersome and means they have to undo mounts via umount().
Allow them to directly use detached mounts.
- Allow to retrieve idmappings with statmount
Currently it isn't possible to figure out what idmapping has been
attached to an idmapped mount. Add an extension to statmount() which
allows to read the idmapping from the mount.
- Allow creating idmapped mounts from mounts that are already idmapped
So far it isn't possible to allow the creation of idmapped mounts
from already idmapped mounts as this has significant lifetime
implications. Make the creation of idmapped mounts atomic by allow to
pass struct mount_attr together with the open_tree_attr() system call
allowing to solve these issues without complicating VFS lookup in any
way.
The system call has in general the benefit that creating a detached
mount and applying mount attributes to it becomes an atomic operation
for userspace.
- Add a way to query statmount() for supported options
Allow userspace to query which mount information can be retrieved
through statmount().
- Allow superblock owners to force unmount

Pre-content hooks in page faults introduces potential deadlock of HSM
handler in userspace with filesystem freezing.
The requirement with pre-content event is that for every accessed file
range an event covering at least this range will be generated at least
once before the file data is accesses.
In preparation to disabling pre-content event hooks on page faults,
add pre-content hooks at mmap() variants for the entire mmaped range,
so HSM can fill content when user requests to map a portion of the file.
Note that exec() variant also calls vm_mmap_pgoff() internally to map
code sections, so pre-content hooks are also generated in this case.

The FMODE_NONOTIFY_* bits are a 2-bits mode. Open coding manipulation
of those bits is risky. Use an accessor file_set_fsnotify_mode() to
set the mode.
Rename file_set_fsnotify_mode() => file_set_fsnotify_mode_from_watchers()
to make way for the simple accessor name.

Move the security hooks also before sb_start_write() to conform with
other security hooks (e.g. in write, fallocate).
The event will have a range info of the page surrounding the new size
to provide an opportunity to fill the conetnt at the end of file before

The new FS_PRE_ACCESS permission event is similar to FS_ACCESS_PERM,
but it meant for a different use case of filling file content before
access to a file range, so it has slightly different semantics.
Generate FS_PRE_ACCESS/FS_ACCESS_PERM as two seperate events, so content
scanners could inspect the content filled by pre-content event handler.
Unlike FS_ACCESS_PERM, FS_PRE_ACCESS is also called before a file is
modified by syscalls as write() and fallocate().
FS_ACCESS_PERM is reported also on blockdev and pipes, but the new
pre-content events are only reported for regular files and dirs.
The pre-content events are meant to be used by hierarchical storage
managers that want to fill the content of files on first access.
There are some specific requirements from filesystems that could
be used with pre-content events, so add a flag for fs to opt-in
for pre-content events explicitly before they can be used.

Legacy inotify/fanotify listeners can add watches for events on inode,
parent or mount and expect to get events (e.g. FS_MODIFY) on files that
were already open at the time of setting up the watches.
fanotify permission events are typically used by Anti-malware sofware,
that is watching the entire mount and it is not common to have more that
one Anti-malware engine installed on a system.
To reduce the overhead of the fsnotify_file_perm() hooks on every file
access, relax the semantics of the legacy FAN_ACCESS_PERM event to generate
events only if there were *any* permission event listeners on the
filesystem at the time that the file was opened.
The new semantic is implemented by extending the FMODE_NONOTIFY bit into
two FMODE_NONOTIFY_* bits, that are used to store a mode for which of the
events types to report.
This is going to apply to the new fanotify pre-content events in order
to reduce the cost of the new pre-content event vfs hooks.

Currently we will not generate FS_OPEN events for O_PATH file
descriptors but we will generate FS_CLOSE events for them. This is
asymmetry is confusing. Arguably no fsnotify events should be generated
for O_PATH file descriptors as they cannot be used to access or modify
file content, they are just convenient handles to file objects like
paths. So fix the asymmetry by stopping to generate FS_CLOSE for O_PATH
file descriptors.

Commit e43de7f0862b ("fsnotify: optimize the case of no marks of any type")
optimized the case where there are no fsnotify watchers on any of the
filesystem's objects.
It is quite common for a system to have a single local filesystem and
it is quite common for the system to have some inotify watches on some
config files or directories, so the optimization of no marks at all is
often not in effect.
Permission event watchers, which require high priority group are more
rare, so optimizing the case of no marks og high priority groups can
improve performance for more systems, especially for performance
sensitive io workloads.
Count per-sb watched objects by high priority groups and use that the
optimize out the call to __fsnotify_parent() and fsnotify() in fsnotify
permission hooks.

Instead of counting the number of connectors in an sb, we would like
to count the number of watched objects per priority group.
As a start, create an accessor fsnotify_sb_watched_objects() to
s_fsnotify_connectors and rename the fsnotify_{get,put}_sb_connectors()
helpers to fsnotify_{get,put}_sb_watchers() to better describes the
counter.
Increment the counter at the end of fsnotify_attach_connector_to_object()
if connector was attached instead of decrementing it on race to connect.
This is fine, because fsnotify_delete_sb() cannot be running in parallel
to fsnotify_attach_connector_to_object() which requires a reference to
a filesystem object.

filesystem may be modified in the context of fanotify permission events
(e.g. by HSM service), so assert that sb freeze protection is not held.
If the assertion fails, then the following deadlock would be possible:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
file_start_write()#0
...
fsnotify_perm()
fanotify_get_response() => (read event and fill file)
...
... freeze_super()
... sb_wait_write()
...
vfs_write()
file_start_write()#1
This example demonstrates a use case of an hierarchical storage management
(HSM) service that uses fanotify permission events to fill the content of
a file before access, while a 3rd process starts fsfreeze.
This creates a circular dependeny:
file_start_write()#0 => fanotify_get_response =>
file_start_write()#1 =>
sb_wait_write() =>
file_end_write()#0
Where file_end_write()#0 can never be called and none of the threads can
make progress.
The assertion is checked for both MAY_READ and MAY_WRITE permission
hooks in preparation for a pre-modify permission event.
The assertion is not checked for an open permission event, because
do_open() takes mnt_want_write() in O_TRUNC case, meaning that it is not
safe to write to filesystem in the content of an open permission event.

A backing file struct stores two path's, one "real" path that is referring
to f_inode and one "fake" path, which should be displayed to users in
/proc/<pid>/maps.
There is a lot more potential code that needs to know the "real" path, then
code that needs to know the "fake" path.
Instead of code having to request the "real" path with file_real_path(),
store the "real" path in f_path and require code that needs to know the
"fake" path request it with file_user_path().
Replace the file_real_path() helper with a simple const accessor f_path().
After this change, file_dentry() is not expected to observe any files
with overlayfs f_path and real f_inode, so the call to ->d_real() should
not be needed. Leave the ->d_real() call for now and add an assertion
in ovl_d_real() to catch if we made wrong assumptions.

Overlayfs creates the real underlying files with fake f_path, whose
f_inode is on the underlying fs and f_path on overlayfs.
Those real files were open with FMODE_NONOTIFY, because fsnotify code was
not prapared to handle fsnotify hooks on files with fake path correctly
and fanotify would report unexpected event->fd with fake overlayfs path,
when the underlying fs was being watched.
Teach fsnotify to handle events on the real files, and do not set real
files to FMODE_NONOTIFY to allow operations on real file (e.g. open,
access, modify, close) to generate async and permission events.
Because fsnotify does not have notifications on address space
operations, we do not need to worry about ->vm_file not reporting
events to a watched overlayfs when users are accessing a mapped
overlayfs file.

Apparently, there are some applications that use IN_DELETE event as an
invalidation mechanism and expect that if they try to open a file with
the name reported with the delete event, that it should not contain the
content of the deleted file.
Commit 49246466a989 ("fsnotify: move fsnotify_nameremove() hook out of
d_delete()") moved the fsnotify delete hook before d_delete() so fsnotify
will have access to a positive dentry.
This allowed a race where opening the deleted file via cached dentry
is now possible after receiving the IN_DELETE event.
To fix the regression, create a new hook fsnotify_delete() that takes
the unlinked inode as an argument and use a helper d_delete_notify() to
pin the inode, so we can pass it to fsnotify_delete() after d_delete().
Backporting hint: this regression is from v5.3. Although patch will
apply with only trivial conflicts to v5.4 and v5.10, it won't build,
because fsnotify_delete() implementation is different in each of those
versions (see fsnotify_link()).
A follow up patch will fix the fsnotify_unlink/rmdir() calls in pseudo
filesystem that do not need to call d_delete().

The dnotify FS_DN_RENAME event is used to request notification about
a move within the same parent directory and was always coupled with
the FS_MOVED_FROM event.
Rename the FS_DN_RENAME event flag to FS_RENAME, decouple it from
FS_MOVED_FROM and report it with the moved dentry instead of the moved
inode, so it has the information about both old and new parent and name.
Generate the FS_RENAME event regardless of same parent dir and apply
the "same parent" rule in the generic fsnotify_handle_event() helper
that is used to call backends with ->handle_inode_event() method
(i.e. dnotify). The ->handle_inode_event() method is not rich enough to
report both old and new parent and name anyway.
The enriched event is reported to fanotify over the ->handle_event()
method with the old and new dir inode marks in marks array slots for
ITER_TYPE_INODE and a new iter type slot ITER_TYPE_INODE2.
The enriched event will be used for reporting old and new parent+name to
fanotify groups with FAN_RENAME events.

Define a new data type to pass for event - FSNOTIFY_EVENT_DENTRY.
Use it to pass the dentry instead of it's ->d_inode where available.
This is needed in preparation to the refactor to retrieve the super
block from the data field. In some cases (i.e. mkdir in kernfs), the
data inode comes from a negative dentry, such that no super block
information would be available. By receiving the dentry itself, instead
of the inode, fsnotify can derive the super block even on these cases.

Similar to events "on child" to watching directory, send event
with parent/name info if sb/mount/non-dir marks are interested in
parent/name info.
The FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD flag can be set on sb/mount/non-dir marks to specify
interest in parent/name info for events on non-directory inodes.
Events on "orphan" children (disconnected dentries) are sent without
parent/name info.
Events on directories are sent with parent/name info only if the parent
directory is watching.
After this change, even groups that do not subscribe to events on
children could get an event with mark iterator type TYPE_CHILD and
without mark iterator type TYPE_INODE if fanotify has marks on the same
objects.
dnotify and inotify event handlers can already cope with that situation.
audit does not subscribe to events that are possible on child, so won't
get to this situation. nfsd does not access the marks iterator from its
event handler at the moment, so it is not affected.
This is a bit too fragile, so we should prepare all groups to cope with
mark type TYPE_CHILD preferably using a generic helper.

The arguments of fsnotify() are overloaded and mean different things
for different event types.
Replace the to_tell argument with separate arguments @dir and @inode,
because we may be sending to both dir and child. Using the @data
argument to pass the child is not enough, because dirent events pass
this argument (for audit), but we do not report to child.
Document the new fsnotify() function argumenets.

It was never enabled in uapi and its functionality is about to be
superseded by events FAN_CREATE, FAN_DELETE, FAN_MOVE with group
flag FAN_REPORT_NAME.
Keep a place holder variable name_event instead of removing the
name recording code since it will be used by the new events.

All (two) callers of fsnotify_parent() also call fsnotify() to notify
the child inode. Move the second fsnotify() call into fsnotify_parent().
This will allow more flexibility in making decisions about which of the
two event falvors should be sent.
Using 'goto notify_child' in the inline helper seems a bit strange, but
it mimics the code in __fsnotify_parent() for clarity and the goto
pattern will become less strage after following patches are applied.

The fsnotify paths are trivial to hit even when there are no watchers and
they are surprisingly expensive. For example, every successful vfs_write()
hits fsnotify_modify which calls both fsnotify_parent and fsnotify unless
FMODE_NONOTIFY is set which is an internal flag invisible to userspace.
As it stands, fsnotify_parent is a guaranteed functional call even if there
are no watchers and fsnotify() does a substantial amount of unnecessary
work before it checks if there are any watchers. A perf profile showed
that applying mnt->mnt_fsnotify_mask in fnotify() was almost half of the
total samples taken in that function during a test. This patch rearranges
the fast paths to reduce the amount of work done when there are no
watchers.
The test motivating this was "perf bench sched messaging --pipe". Despite
the fact the pipes are anonymous, fsnotify is still called a lot and
the overhead is noticeable even though it's completely pointless. It's
likely the overhead is negligible for real IO so this is an extreme
example. This is a comparison of hackbench using processes and pipes on
a 1-socket machine with 8 CPU threads without fanotify watchers.

This is showing that the latencies are improved by roughly 2-9%. The
variability is not shown but some of these results are within the noise
as this workload heavily overloads the machine. That said, the system CPU
usage is reduced by quite a bit so it makes sense to avoid the overhead
even if it is a bit tricky to detect at times. A perf profile of just 1
group of tasks showed that 5.14% of samples taken were in either fsnotify()
or fsnotify_parent(). With the patch, 2.8% of samples were in fsnotify,
mostly function entry and the initial check for watchers. The check for
watchers is complicated enough that inlining it may be controversial.

Dirent events are going to be supported in two flavors:
1. Directory fid info + mask that includes the specific event types
(e.g. FAN_CREATE) and an optional FAN_ONDIR flag.
2. Directory fid info + name + mask that includes only FAN_DIR_MODIFY.
To request the second event flavor, user needs to set the event type
FAN_DIR_MODIFY in the mark mask.
The first flavor is supported since kernel v5.1 for groups initialized
with flag FAN_REPORT_FID. It is intended to be used for watching
directories in "batch mode" - the watcher is notified when directory is
changed and re-scans the directory content in response. This event
flavor is stored more compactly in the event queue, so it is optimal
for workloads with frequent directory changes.
The second event flavor is intended to be used for watching large
directories, where the cost of re-scan of the directory on every change
is considered too high. The watcher getting the event with the directory
fid and entry name is expected to call fstatat(2) to query the content of
the entry after the change.
Legacy inotify events are reported with name and event mask (e.g. "foo",
FAN_CREATE | FAN_ONDIR). That can lead users to the conclusion that
there is *currently* an entry "foo" that is a sub-directory, when in fact
"foo" may be negative or non-dir by the time user gets the event.
To make it clear that the current state of the named entry is unknown,
when reporting an event with name info, fanotify obfuscates the specific
event types (e.g. create,delete,rename) and uses a common event type -
FAN_DIR_MODIFY to describe the change. This should make it harder for
users to make wrong assumptions and write buggy filesystem monitors.
At this point, name info reporting is not yet implemented, so trying to
set FAN_DIR_MODIFY in mark mask will return -EINVAL.

Factor out fsnotify_name() from fsnotify_dirent(), so it can also serve
link and rename events and use this helper to report all directory entry
change events.
Both helpers return void because no caller checks their return value.

For all callers of fsnotify_{unlink,rmdir}(), we made sure that d_parent
and d_name are stable. Therefore, fsnotify_{unlink,rmdir}() do not need
the safety measures in fsnotify_nameremove() to stabilize parent and name.
We can now simplify those hooks and get rid of fsnotify_nameremove().

d_delete() was piggy backed for the fsnotify_nameremove() hook when
in fact not all callers of d_delete() care about fsnotify events.
For all callers of d_delete() that may be interested in fsnotify events,
we made sure to call one of fsnotify_{unlink,rmdir}() hooks before
calling d_delete().
Now we can move the fsnotify_nameremove() call from d_delete() to the
fsnotify_{unlink,rmdir}() hooks.
Two explicit calls to fsnotify_nameremove() from nfs/afs sillyrename
are also removed. This will cause a change of behavior - nfs/afs will
NOT generate an fsnotify delete event when renaming over a positive
dentry. This change is desirable, because it is consistent with the
behavior of all other filesystems.

We would like to move fsnotify_nameremove() calls from d_delete()
into a higher layer where the hook makes more sense and so we can
consider every d_delete() call site individually.
Start by creating empty hook fsnotify_{unlink,rmdir}() and place
them in the proper VFS call sites. After all d_delete() call sites
will be converted to use the new hook, the new hook will generate the
delete events and fsnotify_nameremove() hook will be removed.

Note that in fnsotify_move() and fsnotify_link() we are guaranteed
that dentry->d_name won't change during the fsnotify() evaluation
(by having the parent directory locked exclusive), so we don't
need to fetch dentry->d_name.name in the callers. In fsnotify_dirent()
the same stability of dentry->d_name is also true, but it's a bit
more convoluted - there is one callchain (devpts_pty_new() ->
fsnotify_create() -> fsnotify_dirent()) where the parent is _not_
locked, but on devpts ->d_name of everything is unchanging; it
has neither explicit nor implicit renames.

note that in the second (RENAME_EXCHANGE) call of fsnotify_move() in
vfs_rename() the old_dentry->d_name is guaranteed to be unchanged
throughout the evaluation of fsnotify_move() (by the fact that the
parent directory is locked exclusive), so we don't need to fetch
old_dentry->d_name.name in the caller.

All fsnotify hooks set the FS_ISDIR flag for events that happen
on directory victim inodes except for fsnotify_perm().
Add the missing FS_ISDIR flag in fsnotify_perm() hook and let
fanotify_group_event_mask() check the FS_ISDIR flag instead of
checking if path argument is a directory.
This is needed for fanotify support for event types that do not
carry path information.

We need to report FS_ISDIR flag with MOVE_SELF and DELETE_SELF events
for fanotify, because fanotify API requires the user to explicitly
request events on directories by FAN_ONDIR flag.
inotify never reported IN_ISDIR with those events. It looks like an
oversight, but to avoid the risk of breaking existing inotify programs,
mask the FS_ISDIR flag out when reprting those events to inotify backend.
We also add the FS_ISDIR flag with FS_ATTRIB event in the case of rename
over an empty target directory. inotify did not report IN_ISDIR in this
case, but it normally does report IN_ISDIR along with IN_ATTRIB event,
so in this case, we do not mask out the FS_ISDIR flag.

"dirent" events are referring to events that modify directory entries,
such as create,delete,rename. Those events should always be reported
on a watched directory, regardless if FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD is set
on the watch mask.
fsnotify_nameremove() and fsnotify_move() were modified to no longer
set the FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD event bit. This is a semantic change to
align with the "dirent" event definition. It has no effect on any
existing backend, because dnotify, inotify and audit always requets the
child events and fanotify does not get the delete,rename events.
The fsnotify_dirent() helper is used instead of fsnotify_parent() to
report a dirent event to dentry->d_parent without FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD
and regardless if parent has the FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD bit set.
Unlike fsnotify_parent(), fsnotify_dirent() assumes that dentry->d_name
and dentry->d_parent are stable. For fsnotify_create()/fsnotify_mkdir(),
this assumption is abviously correct. For fsnotify_nameremove(), it is
less trivial, so we use dget_parent() and take_dentry_name_snapshot() to
grab stable references.

A new event mask FAN_OPEN_EXEC_PERM has been defined. This allows users
to receive events and grant access to files that are intending to be
opened for execution. Events of FAN_OPEN_EXEC_PERM type will be
generated when a file has been opened by using either execve(),
execveat() or uselib() system calls.
This acts in the same manner as previous permission event mask, meaning
that an access response is required from the user application in order
to permit any further operations on the file.
