and fsnotify_add_mark_locked(), convert most callers to use a wrapper.

<content type='text'>
Make some code that handles marks of object types inode and vfsmount
generic, so it can handle other object types.

Introduce fsnotify_foreach_obj_type macro to iterate marks by object type
and fsnotify_iter_{should|set}_report_type macros to set/test report_mask.

This is going to be used for adding mark of another object type
(super block mark).

<title>fsnotify: remove redundant arguments to handle_event()</title>

inode_mark and vfsmount_mark arguments are passed to handle_event()
operation as function arguments as well as on iter_info struct.
The difference is that iter_info struct may contain marks that should
not be handled and are represented as NULL arguments to inode_mark or
vfsmount_mark.

Instead of passing the inode_mark and vfsmount_mark arguments, add
a report_mask member to iter_info struct to indicate which marks should
be handled, versus marks that should only be kept alive during user
wait.

This change is going to be used for passing more mark types
with handle_event() (i.e. super block marks).

<title>fsnotify: use type id to identify connector object type</title>

<id>d6f7b98bc8147abd290ead82922f8d83c525fb42</id>
<content type='text'>
An fsnotify_mark_connector is referencing a single type of object
(either inode or vfsmount). Instead of storing a type mask in
connector-&gt;flags, store a single type id in connector-&gt;type to
identify the type of object.

When a connector object is detached from the object, its type is set
to FSNOTIFY_OBJ_TYPE_DETACHED and this object is not going to be
reused.

The function fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group() is the only place where
type mask was used, so use type flags instead of type id to this
function.

This change is going to be more convenient when adding a new object
type (super block).

fsnotify() acquires a reference to a fsnotify_mark_connector through
the SRCU-protected pointer to_tell-&gt;i_fsnotify_marks. However, it
appears that no precautions are taken in fsnotify_put_mark() to
ensure that fsnotify() drops its reference to this
fsnotify_mark_connector before assigning a value to its 'destroy_next'
field. This can result in fsnotify_put_mark() assigning a value
to a connector's 'destroy_next' field right before fsnotify() tries to
traverse the linked list referenced by the connector's 'list' field.
Since these two fields are members of the same union, this behavior
results in a kernel panic.

This issue is resolved by moving the connector's 'destroy_next' field
into the object pointer union. This should work since the object pointer
access is protected by both a spinlock and the value of the 'flags'
field, and the 'flags' field is cleared while holding the spinlock in
fsnotify_put_mark() before 'destroy_next' is updated. It shouldn't be
possible for another thread to accidentally read from the object pointer
after the 'destroy_next' field is updated.

The offending behavior here is extremely unlikely; since
fsnotify_put_mark() removes references to a connector (specifically,
it ensures that the connector is unreachable from the inode it was
formerly attached to) before updating its 'destroy_next' field, a
sizeable chunk of code in fsnotify_put_mark() has to execute in the
short window between when fsnotify() acquires the connector reference
and saves the value of its 'list' field. On the HEAD kernel, I've only
been able to reproduce this by inserting a udelay(1) in fsnotify().
However, I've been able to reproduce this issue without inserting a
udelay(1) anywhere on older unmodified release kernels, so I believe
it's worth fixing at HEAD.

<title>fsnotify: Let userspace know about lost events due to ENOMEM</title>

Currently if notification event is lost due to event allocation failing
we ENOMEM, we just silently continue (except for fanotify permission
events where we deny the access). This is undesirable as userspace has
no way of knowing whether the notifications it got are complete or not.
Treat lost events due to ENOMEM the same way as lost events due to queue
overflow so that userspace knows something bad happened and it likely
needs to rescan the filesystem.

 - two isofs fixes for architectures with signed char

 - several udf block number overflow and signedness fixes

 - ext2 rework of mount option handling to avoid GFP_KERNEL allocation
   with spinlock held

 - ... it also contains a patch to implement auditing of responses to
   fanotify permission events. That should have been in the fanotify
   pull request but I mistakenly merged that patch into a wrong branch
   and noticed only now at which point I don't think it's worth rebasing
   and redoing.
