2020-03-25fanotify: send FAN_DIR_MODIFY event flavor with dir inode and nameAmir Goldstein
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.

2019-12-18fs: call fsnotify_sb_delete after evict_inodesEric Sandeen
When a filesystem is unmounted, we currently call fsnotify_sb_delete() before evict_inodes(), which means that fsnotify_unmount_inodes() must iterate over all inodes on the superblock looking for any inodes with watches. This is inefficient and can lead to livelocks as it iterates over many unwatched inodes. At this point, SB_ACTIVE is gone and dropping refcount to zero kicks the inode out out immediately, so anything processed by fsnotify_sb_delete / fsnotify_unmount_inodes gets evicted in that loop. After that, the call to evict_inodes will evict everything else with a zero refcount. This should speed things up overall, and avoid livelocks in fsnotify_unmount_inodes().

2018-11-08fanotify: fix handling of events on child sub-directoryAmir Goldstein
When an event is reported on a sub-directory and the parent inode has a mark mask with FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD|FS_ISDIR, the event will be sent to fsnotify() even if the event type is not in the parent mark mask (e.g. FS_OPEN). Further more, if that event happened on a mount or a filesystem with a mount/sb mark that does have that event type in their mask, the "on child" event will be reported on the mount/sb mark. That is not desired, because user will get a duplicate event for the same action. Note that the event reported on the victim inode is never merged with the event reported on the parent inode, because of the check in should_merge(): old_fsn->inode == new_fsn->inode. Fix this by looking for a match of an actual event type (i.e. not just FS_ISDIR) in parent's inode mark mask and by not reporting an "on child" event to group if event type is only found on mount/sb marks.

2018-10-25fsnotify: Fix busy inodes during unmountJan Kara
Detaching of mark connector from fsnotify_put_mark() can race with unmounting of the filesystem like: CPU1 CPU2 fsnotify_put_mark() spin_lock(&conn->lock); ... inode = fsnotify_detach_connector_from_object(conn) spin_unlock(&conn->lock); generic_shutdown_super() fsnotify_unmount_inodes() sees connector detached for inode -> nothing to do evict_inode() barfs on pending inode reference iput(inode); Resulting in "Busy inodes after unmount" message and possible kernel oops. Make fsnotify_unmount_inodes() properly wait for outstanding inode references from detached connectors. Note that the accounting of outstanding inode references in the superblock can cause some cacheline contention on the counter. OTOH it happens only during deletion of the last notification mark from an inode (or during unlinking of watched inode) and that is not too bad. I have measured time to create & delete inotify watch 100000 times from 64 processes in parallel (each process having its own inotify group and its own file on a shared superblock) on a 64 CPU machine. Average and standard deviation of 15 runs look like: Avg Stddev Vanilla 9.817400 0.276165 Fixed 9.710467 0.228294 So there's no statistically significant difference.

2018-10-04fsnotify: generalize handling of extra event flagsAmir Goldstein
FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD gets a special treatment in fsnotify() because it is not a flag specifying an event type, but rather an extra flags that may be reported along with another event and control the handling of the event by the backend. FS_ISDIR is also an "extra flag" and not an "event type" and therefore desrves the same treatment. With inotify/dnotify backends it was never possible to set FS_ISDIR in mark masks, so it did not matter. With fanotify backend, mark adding code jumps through hoops to avoid setting the FS_ISDIR in the commulative object mask. Separate the constant ALL_FSNOTIFY_EVENTS to ALL_FSNOTIFY_FLAGS and ALL_FSNOTIFY_EVENTS, so the latter can be used to test for specific event types.

This change depends on correctly merging the inode marks and mount marks group lists, so that the mount mark ignore mask would be tested in send_to_group(). Alas, the merging of the lists did not take into account the case where event in question is not in the mask of any of the mount marks.

2017-04-10fsnotify: Move mark list head from object into dedicated structureJan Kara
Currently notification marks are attached to object (inode or vfsmnt) by a hlist_head in the object. The list is also protected by a spinlock in the object. So while there is any mark attached to the list of marks, the object must be pinned in memory (and thus e.g. last iput() deleting inode cannot happen). Also for list iteration in fsnotify() to work, we must hold fsnotify_mark_srcu lock so that mark itself and mark->obj_list.next cannot get freed. Thus we are required to wait for response to fanotify events from userspace process with fsnotify_mark_srcu lock held. That causes issues when userspace process is buggy and does not reply to some event - basically the whole notification subsystem gets eventually stuck. So to be able to drop fsnotify_mark_srcu lock while waiting for response, we have to pin the mark in memory and make sure it stays in the object list (as removing the mark waiting for response could lead to lost notification events for groups later in the list). However we don't want inode reclaim to block on such mark as that would lead to system just locking up elsewhere. This commit is the first in the series that paves way towards solving these conflicting lifetime needs. Instead of anchoring the list of marks directly in the object, we anchor it in a dedicated structure (fsnotify_mark_connector) and just point to that structure from the object. The following commits will also add spinlock protecting the list and object pointer to the structure.

2015-09-04fs/notify: optimize inotify/fsnotify code for unwatched filesDave Hansen
I have a _tiny_ microbenchmark that sits in a loop and writes single bytes to a file. Writing one byte to a tmpfs file is around 2x slower than reading one byte from a file, which is a _bit_ more than I expecte. This is a dumb benchmark, but I think it's hard to deny that write() is a hot path and we should avoid unnecessary overhead there. I did a 'perf record' of 30-second samples of read and write. The top item in a diffprofile is srcu_read_lock() from fsnotify(). There are active inotify fd's from systemd, but nothing is actually listening to the file or its part of the filesystem. I *think* we can avoid taking the srcu_read_lock() for the common case where there are no actual marks on the file. This means that there will both be nothing to notify for *and* implies that there is no need for clearing the ignore mask. This patch gave a 13.1% speedup in writes/second on my test, which is an improvement from the 10.8% that I saw with the last version.

2014-11-13fanotify: fix notification of groups with inode & mount marksJan Kara
fsnotify() needs to merge inode and mount marks lists when notifying groups about events so that ignore masks from inode marks are reflected in mount mark notifications and groups are notified in proper order (according to priorities). Currently the sorting of the lists done by fsnotify_add_inode_mark() / fsnotify_add_vfsmount_mark() and fsnotify() differed which resulted ignore masks not being used in some cases. Fix the problem by always using the same comparison function when sorting / merging the mark lists. Thanks to Heinrich Schuchardt for improvements of my patch.

2014-02-18inotify: Fix reporting of cookies for inotify eventsJan Kara
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.

2014-01-21fsnotify: do not share events between notification groupsJan Kara
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.

2013-02-27hlist: drop the node parameter from iteratorsSasha Levin
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually. The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here: @@ iterator name hlist_for_each_entry, hlist_for_each_entry_continue, hlist_for_each_entry_from, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh, for_each_busy_worker, ax25_uid_for_each, ax25_for_each, inet_bind_bucket_for_each, sctp_for_each_hentry, sk_for_each, sk_for_each_rcu, sk_for_each_from, sk_for_each_safe, sk_for_each_bound, hlist_for_each_entry_safe, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu, nr_neigh_for_each, nr_neigh_for_each_safe, nr_node_for_each, nr_node_for_each_safe, for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp, for_each_gfn_sp, for_each_host; type T; expression a,c,d,e; identifier b; statement S; @@ -T b; <+... when != b ( hlist_for_each_entry(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_from(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh(a, - b, c) S | for_each_busy_worker(a, c, - b, d) S | ax25_uid_for_each(a, - b, c) S | ax25_for_each(a, - b, c) S | inet_bind_bucket_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sctp_for_each_hentry(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_rcu(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_from -(a, b) +(a) S + sk_for_each_from(a) S | sk_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | sk_for_each_bound(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_safe(a, - b, c, d, e) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | nr_node_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_node_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d) S | for_each_host(a, - b, c) S | for_each_host_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | for_each_mesh_entry(a, - b, c, d) S ) ...+> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus change from net/ipv4/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus hunk from net/ipv6/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warnings] [akpm@linux-foudnation.org: redo intrusive kvm changes] Tested-by: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@gmail.com> Acked-by: Paul E.
