<content type='text'>
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-&gt;inode == new_fsn-&gt;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.

[backport hint: The bug seems to have always been in fanotify, but this
                patch will only apply cleanly to v4.19.y]

<title>fsnotify: Fix busy inodes during unmount</title>

Detaching of mark connector from fsnotify_put_mark() can race with
unmounting of the filesystem like:

  CPU1				CPU2
fsnotify_put_mark()
  spin_lock(&amp;conn-&gt;lock);
  ...
  inode = fsnotify_detach_connector_from_object(conn)
  spin_unlock(&amp;conn-&gt;lock);
				generic_shutdown_super()
				  fsnotify_unmount_inodes()
				    sees connector detached for inode
				      -&gt; 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 &amp; 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.

In order to identify which thread triggered the event in a
multi-threaded program, add the FAN_REPORT_TID flag in fanotify_init to
opt-in for reporting the event creator's thread id information.

We do not want to add new bits to the FAN_ALL_* uapi constants
because they have been exposed to userspace.  If there are programs
out there using these constants, those programs could break if
re-compiled with modified FAN_ALL_* constants and run on an old kernel.

We deprecate the uapi constants FAN_ALL_* and define new FANOTIFY_*
constants for internal use to replace them. New feature bits will be
added only to the new constants.

fanotify mark add/remove code jumps through hoops to avoid setting the
FS_ISDIR in the commulative object mask.

That was just papering over a bug in fsnotify() handling of the FS_ISDIR
extra flag. This bug is now fixed, so all the hoops can be removed along
with the unneeded internal flag FAN_MARK_ONDIR.

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.

Add another mark type flag FAN_MARK_FILESYSTEM for add/remove/flush
of super block mark type.

A super block watch gets all events on the filesystem, regardless of
the mount from which the mark was added, unless an ignore mask exists
on either the inode or the mount where the event was generated.

Only one of FAN_MARK_MOUNT and FAN_MARK_FILESYSTEM mark type flags
may be provided to fanotify_mark() or no mark type flag for inode mark.
