2009-08-27inotify: do not BUG on idr entries at inotify destructionEric Paris
If an inotify watch is left in the idr when an fsnotify group is destroyed this will lead to a BUG. This is not a dangerous situation and really indicates a programming bug and leak of memory. This patch changes it to use a WARN and a printk rather than killing people's boxes. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2009-08-17notify: unused event private raceEric Paris
inotify decides if private data it passed to get added to an event was used by checking list_empty(). But it's possible that the event may have been dequeued and the private event removed so it would look empty. The fix is to use the return code from fsnotify_add_notify_event rather than looking at the list.

2009-06-19inotify: inotify_destroy_mark_entry could get called twiceEric Paris
inotify_destroy_mark_entry could get called twice for the same mark since it is called directly in inotify_rm_watch and when the mark is being destroyed for another reason. As an example assume that the file being watched was just deleted so inotify_destroy_mark_entry would get called from the path fsnotify_inoderemove() -> fsnotify_destroy_marks_by_inode() -> fsnotify_destroy_mark_entry() -> inotify_destroy_mark_entry(). If this happened at the same time as userspace tried to remove a watch via inotify_rm_watch we could attempt to remove the mark from the idr twice and could thus double dec the ref cnt and potentially could be in a use after free/double free situation. The fix is to have inotify_rm_watch use the generic recursive safe fsnotify_destroy_mark_by_entry() so we are sure the inotify_destroy_mark_entry() function can only be called one. This patch also renames the function to inotify_ingored_remove_idr() so it is clear what is actually going on in the function. Hopefully this fixes: [ 20.342058] idr_remove called for id=20 which is not allocated.

2009-06-11inotify/dnotify: should_send_event shouldn't match on FS_EVENT_ON_CHILDEric Paris
inotify and dnotify will both indicate that they want any event which came from a child inode. The fix is to mask off FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD when deciding if inotify or dnotify is interested in a given event. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2009-06-11inotify: reimplement inotify using fsnotifyEric Paris
Reimplement inotify_user using fsnotify. This should be feature for feature exactly the same as the original inotify_user. This does not make any changes to the in kernel inotify feature used by audit. Those patches (and the eventual removal of in kernel inotify) will come after the new inotify_user proves to be working correctly.
