+ * Watch removals suck violently. To kick the watch out we need (in this
+ * order) inode->inotify_mutex and ih->mutex. That's fine if we have
+ * a hold on inode; however, for all other cases we need to make damn sure
+ * we don't race with umount. We can *NOT* just grab a reference to a
+ * watch - inotify_unmount_inodes() will happily sail past it and we'll end
+ * with reference to inode potentially outliving its superblock. Ideally
+ * we just want to grab an active reference to superblock if we can; that
+ * will make sure we won't go into inotify_umount_inodes() until we are
+ * done. Cleanup is just deactivate_super(). However, that leaves a messy
+ * case - what if we *are* racing with umount() and active references to
+ * superblock can't be acquired anymore? We can bump ->s_count, grab
+ * ->s_umount, which will almost certainly wait until the superblock is shut
+ * down and the watch in question is pining for fjords. That's fine, but
+ * there is a problem - we might have hit the window between ->s_active
+ * getting to 0 / ->s_count - below S_BIAS (i.e. the moment when superblock
+ * is past the point of no return and is heading for shutdown) and the
+ * moment when deactivate_super() acquires ->s_umount. We could just do
+ * drop_super() yield() and retry, but that's rather antisocial and this
+ * stuff is luser-triggerable. OTOH, having grabbed ->s_umount and having
+ * found that we'd got there first (i.e. that ->s_root is non-NULL) we know
+ * that we won't race with inotify_umount_inodes(). So we could grab a
+ * reference to watch and do the rest as above, just with drop_super() instead
+ * of deactivate_super(), right? Wrong. We had to drop ih->mutex before we
+ * could grab ->s_umount. So the watch could've been gone already.
+ *
+ * That still can be dealt with - we need to save watch->wd, do idr_find()
+ * and compare its result with our pointer. If they match, we either have
+ * the damn thing still alive or we'd lost not one but two races at once,
+ * the watch had been killed and a new one got created with the same ->wd
+ * at the same address. That couldn't have happened in inotify_destroy(),
+ * but inotify_rm_wd() could run into that. Still, "new one got created"
+ * is not a problem - we have every right to kill it or leave it alone,
+ * whatever's more convenient.
+ *
+ * So we can use idr_find(...) == watch && watch->inode->i_sb == sb as
+ * "grab it and kill it" check. If it's been our original watch, we are
+ * fine, if it's a newcomer - nevermind, just pretend that we'd won the
+ * race and kill the fscker anyway; we are safe since we know that its
+ * superblock won't be going away.
+ *
+ * And yes, this is far beyond mere "not very pretty"; so's the entire
+ * concept of inotify to start with.
