Ensure that clean up is performed on the allocated file descriptor and
struct file object in the event that an error is encountered while copying
fid info objects. Currently, we return directly to the caller when an error
is experienced in the fid info copying helper, which isn't ideal given that
the listener process could be left with a dangling file descriptor in their
fdtable.

Reporting event-&gt;pid should depend on the privileges of the user that
initialized the group, not the privileges of the user reading the
events.

Use an internal group flag FANOTIFY_UNPRIV to record the fact that the
group was initialized by an unprivileged user.

To be on the safe side, the premissions to setup filesystem and mount
marks now require that both the user that initialized the group and
the user setting up the mark have CAP_SYS_ADMIN.

I don't see an obvious reason why the upper 32 bit check needs to be
open-coded this way. Switch to upper_32_bits() which is more idiomatic and
should conceptually be the same check.

Add limited support for unprivileged fanotify groups.
An unprivileged users is not allowed to get an open file descriptor in
the event nor the process pid of another process.  An unprivileged user
cannot request permission events, cannot set mount/filesystem marks and
cannot request unlimited queue/marks.

This enables the limited functionality similar to inotify when watching a
set of files and directories for OPEN/ACCESS/MODIFY/CLOSE events, without
requiring SYS_CAP_ADMIN privileges.

The FAN_REPORT_DFID_NAME init flag, provide a method for an unprivileged
listener watching a set of directories (with FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD) to monitor
all changes inside those directories.

This typically requires that the listener keeps a map of watched directory
fid to dirfd (O_PATH), where fid is obtained with name_to_handle_at()
before starting to watch for changes.

When getting an event, the reported fid of the parent should be resolved
to dirfd and fstatsat(2) with dirfd and name should be used to query the
state of the filesystem entry.

<title>fanotify: configurable limits via sysfs</title>

<id>5b8fea65d197f408bb00b251c70d842826d6b70b</id>
<content type='text'>
fanotify has some hardcoded limits. The only APIs to escape those limits
are FAN_UNLIMITED_QUEUE and FAN_UNLIMITED_MARKS.

Allow finer grained tuning of the system limits via sysfs tunables under
/proc/sys/fs/fanotify, similar to tunables under /proc/sys/fs/inotify,
with some minor differences.

- max_queued_events - global system tunable for group queue size limit.
  Like the inotify tunable with the same name, it defaults to 16384 and
  applies on initialization of a new group.

- max_user_marks - user ns tunable for marks limit per user.
  Like the inotify tunable named max_user_watches, on a machine with
  sufficient RAM and it defaults to 1048576 in init userns and can be
  further limited per containing user ns.

- max_user_groups - user ns tunable for number of groups per user.
  Like the inotify tunable named max_user_instances, it defaults to 128
  in init userns and can be further limited per containing user ns.

The slightly different tunable names used for fanotify are derived from
the "group" and "mark" terminology used in the fanotify man pages and
throughout the code.

Considering the fact that the default value for max_user_instances was
increased in kernel v5.10 from 8192 to 1048576, leaving the legacy
fanotify limit of 8192 marks per group in addition to the max_user_marks
limit makes little sense, so the per group marks limit has been removed.

Note that when a group is initialized with FAN_UNLIMITED_MARKS, its own
marks are not accounted in the per user marks account, so in effect the
limit of max_user_marks is only for the collection of groups that are
not initialized with FAN_UNLIMITED_MARKS.

Event merges are expensive when event queue size is large, so limit the
linear search to 128 merge tests.

In combination with 128 size hash table, there is a potential to merge
with up to 16K events in the hashed queue.

In order to improve event merge performance, hash events in a 128 size
hash table by the event merge key.

The fanotify_event size grows by two pointers, but we just reduced its
size by removing the objectid member, so overall its size is increased
by one pointer.

Permission events and overflow event are not merged so they are also
not hashed.

Improve the merge key hash by mixing more values relevant for merge.

For example, all FAN_CREATE name events in the same dir used to have the
same merge key based on the dir inode.  With this change the created
file name is mixed into the merge key.

The object id that was used as merge key is redundant to the event info
so it is no longer mixed into the hash.

Permission events are not hashed, so no need to hash their info.

<title>fanotify: reduce event objectid to 29-bit hash</title>

objectid is only used by fanotify backend and it is just an optimization
for event merge before comparing all fields in event.

Move the objectid member from common struct fsnotify_event into struct
fanotify_event and reduce it to 29-bit hash to cram it together with the
3-bit event type.

Events of different types are never merged, so the combination of event
type and hash form a 32-bit key for fast compare of events.

This reduces the size of events by one pointer and paves the way for
adding hashed queue support for fanotify.

Current code has an assumtion that fsnotify_notify_queue_is_empty() is
called to verify that queue is not empty before trying to peek or remove
an event from queue.

Remove this assumption by moving the fsnotify_notify_queue_is_empty()
into the functions, allow them to return NULL value and check return
value by all callers.

This is a prep patch for multi event queues.
