* fanotify: on group destroy allow all waiters to bypass permission checkLino Sanfilippo2010-12-071-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When fanotify_release() is called, there may still be processes waiting for access permission. Currently only processes for which an event has already been queued into the groups access list will be woken up. Processes for which no event has been queued will continue to sleep and thus cause a deadlock when fsnotify_put_group() is called. Furthermore there is a race allowing further processes to be waiting on the access wait queue after wake_up (if they arrive before clear_marks_by_group() is called). This patch corrects this by setting a flag to inform processes that the group is about to be destroyed and thus not to wait for access permission. [additional changelog from eparis] Lets think about the 4 relevant code paths from the PoV of the 'operator' 'listener' 'responder' and 'closer'. Where operator is the process doing an action (like open/read) which could require permission. Listener is the task (or in this case thread) slated with reading from the fanotify file descriptor. The 'responder' is the thread responsible for responding to access requests. 'Closer' is the thread attempting to close the fanotify file descriptor. The 'operator' is going to end up in: fanotify_handle_event() get_response_from_access() (THIS BLOCKS WAITING ON USERSPACE) The 'listener' interesting code path fanotify_read() copy_event_to_user() prepare_for_access_response() (THIS CREATES AN fanotify_response_event) The 'responder' code path: fanotify_write() process_access_response() (REMOVE A fanotify_response_event, SET RESPONSE, WAKE UP 'operator') The 'closer': fanotify_release() (SUPPOSED TO CLEAN UP THE REST OF THIS MESS) What we have today is that in the closer we remove all of the fanotify_response_events and set a bit so no more response events are ever created in prepare_for_access_response(). The bug is that we never wake all of the operators up and tell them to move along. You fix that in fanotify_get_response_from_access(). You also fix other operators which haven't gotten there yet. So I agree that's a good fix.

* fanotify: ignore events on directories unless specifically requestedEric Paris2010-10-281-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | fanotify has a very limited number of events it sends on directories. The usefulness of these events is yet to be seen and still we send them. This is particularly painful for mount marks where one might receive many of these useless events. As such this patch will drop events on IS_DIR() inodes unless they were explictly requested with FAN_ON_DIR. This means that a mark on a directory without FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD or FAN_ON_DIR is meaningless and will result in no events ever (although it will still be allowed since detecting it is hard) Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
* fanotify: do not send events for irregular filesEric Paris2010-10-281-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | fanotify_should_send_event has a test to see if an object is a file or directory and does not send an event otherwise. The problem is that the test is actually checking if the object with a mark is a file or directory, not if the object the event happened on is a file or directory. We should check the latter.

* fanotify: limit number of listeners per userEric Paris2010-10-281-1/+10
| | | | | | | | fanotify currently has no limit on the number of listeners a given user can have open. This patch limits the total number of listeners per user to 128. This is the same as the inotify default limit. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
* fanotify: drop duplicate pr_debug statementTvrtko Ursulin2010-08-221-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | This reminded me... you have two pr_debugs in fanotify_should_send_event which output redundant information. Maybe you intended it like that so it is selectable how much log spam you want, or if not you may want to apply this patch.

* Revert "fsnotify: store struct file not struct path"Linus Torvalds2010-08-121-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 3bcf3860a4ff9bbc522820b4b765e65e4deceb3e (and the accompanying commit c1e5c954020e "vfs/fsnotify: fsnotify_close can delay the final work in fput" that was a horribly ugly hack to make it work at all). The 'struct file' approach not only causes that disgusting hack, it somehow breaks pulseaudio, probably due to some other subtlety with f_count handling. Fix up various conflicts due to later fsnotify work. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* fanotify: use both marks when possibleEric Paris2010-07-281-54/+34
| | | | | | | | fanotify currently, when given a vfsmount_mark will look up (if it exists) the corresponding inode mark. This patch drops that lookup and uses the mark provided. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
* fsnotify: pass both the vfsmount mark and inode markEric Paris2010-07-281-5/+10
| | | | | | | | should_send_event() and handle_event() will both need to look up the inode event if they get a vfsmount event. Lets just pass both at the same time since we have them both after walking the lists in lockstep. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
* fsnotify: cleanup should_send_eventEric Paris2010-07-281-15/+8
| | | | | | | | The change to use srcu and walk the object list rather than the global fsnotify_group list means that should_send_event is no longer needed for a number of groups and can be simplified for others. Do that. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
* fanotify: use the mark in handler functionsEric Paris2010-07-281-29/+17
| | | | | | | | fanotify now gets a mark in the should_send_event and handle_event functions. Rather than look up the mark themselves fanotify should just use the mark it was handed. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
* fsnotify: send fsnotify_mark to groups in event handling functionsEric Paris2010-07-281-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | With the change of fsnotify to use srcu walking the marks list instead of walking the global groups list we now know the mark in question. The code can send the mark to the group's handling functions and the groups won't have to find those marks themselves. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
* fsnotify: store struct file not struct pathEric Paris2010-07-281-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | Al explains that calling dentry_open() with a mnt/dentry pair is only garunteed to be safe if they are already used in an open struct file. To make sure this is the case don't store and use a struct path in fsnotify, always use a struct file. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
* fsnotify: fsnotify_add_notify_event should return an eventEric Paris2010-07-281-57/+46
| | | | | | | | | Rather than the horrific void ** argument and such just to pass the fanotify_merge event back to the caller of fsnotify_add_notify_event() have those things return an event if it was different than the event suggusted to be added. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
* fanotify: userspace interface for permission responsesEric Paris2010-07-281-0/+3
| | | | | | | | fanotify groups need to respond to events which include permissions types. To do so groups will send a response using write() on the fanotify_fd they have open. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
* fanotify: permissions and blockingEric Paris2010-07-281-4/+50
| | | | | | | | | This is the backend work needed for fanotify to support the new FS_OPEN_PERM and FS_ACCESS_PERM fsnotify events. This is done using the new fsnotify secondary queue. No userspace interface is provided actually respond to or request these events. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
* fanotify: use merge argument to determine actual event added to queueEric Paris2010-07-281-5/+16
| | | | | | | | | fanotify needs to know the actual event added to queues so it can be correctly checked for return values from userspace. To do this we need to pass that information from the merger code back to the main even handling routine. Currently that information is unused, but it will be.

* fsnotify: intoduce a notification merge argumentEric Paris2010-07-281-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Each group can define their own notification (and secondary_q) merge function. Inotify does tail drop, fanotify does matching and drop which can actually allocate a completely new event. But for fanotify to properly deal with permissions events it needs to know the new event which was ultimately added to the notification queue. This patch just implements a void ** argument which is passed to the merge function. fanotify can use this field to pass the new event back to higher layers.

* fanotify: ignored_mask to ignore eventsEric Paris2010-07-281-14/+23
| | | | | | | When fanotify receives an event it will check event->mask & ~ignored_mask. If no bits are left the event will not be sent. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
* fanotify: remove outgoing function checks in fanotify.hAndreas Gruenbacher2010-07-281-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | A number of validity checks on outgoing data are done in static inlines but are only used in one place. Instead just do them where they are used for readability. Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
* fanotify: should_send_event needs to handle vfsmountsEric Paris2010-07-281-11/+45
| | | | | | | | currently should_send_event in fanotify only cares about marks on inodes. This patch extends that interface to indicate that it cares about events that happened on vfsmounts. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
* fsnotify: split generic and inode specific mark codeEric Paris2010-07-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | currently all marking is done by functions in inode-mark.c. Some of this is pretty generic and should be instead done in a generic function and we should only put the inode specific code in inode-mark.c Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
* fanotify: Add pids to eventsAndreas Gruenbacher2010-07-281-2/+3
| | | | | | | | Pass the process identifiers of the triggering processes to fanotify listeners: this information is useful for event filtering and logging. Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
* fanotify: do not clone on merge unless neededEric Paris2010-07-281-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently if 2 events are going to be merged on the notication queue with different masks the second event will be cloned and will replace the first event. However if this notification queue is the only place referencing the event in question there is no reason not to just update the event in place. We can tell this if the event->refcnt == 1. Since we hold a reference for each queue this event is on we know that when refcnt == 1 this is the only queue. The other concern is that it might be about to be added to a new queue, but this can't be the case since fsnotify holds a reference on the event until it is finished adding it to queues.

* fanotify: merge notification events with different masksEric Paris2010-07-281-9/+30
| | | | | | | | | Instead of just merging fanotify events if they are exactly the same, merge notification events with different masks. To do this we have to clone the old event, update the mask in the new event with the new merged mask, and put the new event in place of the old event. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
* fanotify:drop notification if they exist in the outgoing queueEric Paris2010-07-281-2/+43
| | | | | | | | | | fanotify listeners get an open file descriptor to the object in question so the ordering of operations is not as important as in other notification systems. inotify will drop events if the last event in the event FIFO is the same as the current event. This patch will drop fanotify events if they are the same as another event anywhere in the event FIFO. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
* fanotify: fscking all notification systemEric Paris2010-07-281-0/+78
fanotify is a novel file notification system which bases notification on giving userspace both an event type (open, close, read, write) and an open file descriptor to the object in question. This should address a number of races and problems with other notification systems like inotify and dnotify and should allow the future implementation of blocking or access controlled notification. These are useful for on access scanners or hierachical storage management schemes. This patch just implements the basics of the fsnotify functions. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
