fsnotify: remove destroy_list from fsnotify_mark

2014-12-13T20:42:53+00:00

destroy_list is used to track marks which still need waiting for srcu
period end before they can be freed.  However by the time mark is added to
destroy_list it isn't in group's list of marks anymore and thus we can
reuse fsnotify_mark->g_list for queueing into destroy_list.  This saves
two pointers for each fsnotify_mark.

fsnotify: unify inode and mount marks handling

2014-12-13T20:42:53+00:00

There's a lot of common code in inode and mount marks handling.  Factor it
out to a common helper function.

fanotify: fix notification of groups with inode & mount marks

2014-11-14T00:17:06+00:00

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.

fs/notify/mark.c: trivial cleanup

2014-06-04T23:53:52+00:00

Do not initialize private_destroy_list twice.  list_replace_init()
already takes care of initializing private_destroy_list.  We don't need
to initialize it with LIST_HEAD() beforehand.

2013-07-09T17:33:20+00:00

There have been changes in the locking scheme of fsnotify but the
comments in the source code have not been updated yet.  This patch
corrects this.

I tried to reproduce this bug with your test program, but without success.
However, if I understand correctly, this occurs since we dont hold any locks when
we call iput() in mark_destroy(), right?
With the patches you tested, iput() is also not called within any lock, since the
groups mark_mutex is released temporarily before iput() is called.  This is, since
the original codes behaviour is similar.
However since we now have a mutex as the biggest lock, we can do what you
suggested (http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-fsdevel/msg46107.html) and
call iput() with the mutex held to avoid the race.
The patch below implements this. It uses nested locking to avoid deadlock in case
we do the final iput() on an inode which still holds marks and thus would take
the mutex again when calling fsnotify_inode_delete() in destroy_inode().

fsnotify: dont put marks on temporary list when clearing marks by group

2012-12-11T18:44:36+00:00

In clear_marks_by_group_flags() the mark list of a group is iterated and the
marks are put on a temporary list.
Since we introduced fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked() we dont need the temp list
any more and are able to remove the marks while the mark list is iterated and
the mark list mutex is held.

fsnotify: introduce locked versions of fsnotify_add_mark() and fsnotify_remove_mark()

2012-12-11T18:44:36+00:00

This patch introduces fsnotify_add_mark_locked() and fsnotify_remove_mark_locked()
which are essentially the same as fsnotify_add_mark() and fsnotify_remove_mark() but
assume that the caller has already taken the groups mark mutex.

fsnotify: use a mutex instead of a spinlock to protect a groups mark list

2012-12-11T18:29:46+00:00

Replaces the groups mark_lock spinlock with a mutex. Using a mutex instead
of a spinlock results in more flexibility (i.e it allows to sleep while the
lock is held).
