When merging name events, fsids of the two involved events have to
match. Otherwise we could merge events from two different filesystems
and thus effectively loose the second event.
Backporting note: Although the commit cacfb956d4 introducing this bug
was merged for 5.7, the relevant code didn't get used in the end until
7e8283af6e ("fanotify: report parent fid + name + child fid") which
will be merged with this patch. So there's no need for backporting this.

The method handle_event() grew a lot of complexity due to the design of
fanotify and merging of ignore masks.
Most backends do not care about this complex functionality, so we can hide
this complexity from them.
Introduce a method handle_inode_event() that serves those backends and
passes a single inode mark and less arguments.
This change converts all backends except fanotify and inotify to use the
simplified handle_inode_event() method. In pricipal, inotify could have
also used the new method, but that would require passing more arguments
on the simple helper (data, data_type, cookie), so we leave it with the
handle_event() method.

Add support for FAN_REPORT_FID | FAN_REPORT_DIR_FID.
Internally, it is implemented as a private case of reporting both
parent and child fids and name, the parent and child fids are recorded
in a variable length fanotify_name_event, but there is no name.
It should be noted that directory modification events are recorded
in fixed size fanotify_fid_event when not reporting name, just like
with group flags FAN_REPORT_FID.

For a group with fanotify_init() flag FAN_REPORT_DFID_NAME, the parent

info record of type FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_DFID_NAME.
If the group also has the init flag FAN_REPORT_FID, the child fid
is also reported with another info record that follows the first info
record. The second info record is the same info record that would have
been reported to a group with only FAN_REPORT_FID flag.
When the child fid needs to be recorded, the variable size struct
fanotify_name_event is preallocated with enough space to store the
child fh between the dir fh and the name.

named FAN_REPORT_DFID_NAME.
For a group with flag FAN_REPORT_NAME, the parent fid and name are

and for events on non-directory objects.
Events on directories themselves are reported with their own fid and
"." as the name.
The parent fid and name are reported with an info record of type
FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_DFID_NAME, similar to the way that parent fid is
reported with into type FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_DFID, but with an appended

In a group with flag FAN_REPORT_DIR_FID, when adding an inode mark with
FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD, events on non-directory children are reported with
the fid of the parent.
When adding a filesystem or mount mark or mark on a non-dir inode, we
want to report events that are "possible on child" (e.g. open/close)
also with fid of the parent, as if the victim inode's parent is
interested in events "on child".
Some events, currently only FAN_MOVE_SELF, should be reported to a
sb/mount/non-dir mark with parent fid even though they are not
reported to a watching parent.
To get the desired behavior we set the flag FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD on
all the sb/mount/non-dir mark masks in a group with FAN_REPORT_DIR_FID.

- Events on children of a watching directory
- Events on directory objects

Similar to events "on child" to watching directory, send event
with parent/name info if sb/mount/non-dir marks are interested in
parent/name info.
The FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD flag can be set on sb/mount/non-dir marks to specify
interest in parent/name info for events on non-directory inodes.
Events on "orphan" children (disconnected dentries) are sent without
parent/name info.
Events on directories are sent with parent/name info only if the parent
directory is watching.
After this change, even groups that do not subscribe to events on
children could get an event with mark iterator type TYPE_CHILD and
without mark iterator type TYPE_INODE if fanotify has marks on the same
objects.
dnotify and inotify event handlers can already cope with that situation.
audit does not subscribe to events that are possible on child, so won't
get to this situation. nfsd does not access the marks iterator from its
event handler at the moment, so it is not affected.
This is a bit too fragile, so we should prepare all groups to cope with
mark type TYPE_CHILD preferably using a generic helper.

Instead of calling fsnotify() twice, once with parent inode and once
with child inode, if event should be sent to parent inode, send it
with both parent and child inodes marks in object type iterator and call
the backend handle_event() callback only once.
The parent inode is assigned to the standard "inode" iterator type and
the child inode is assigned to the special "child" iterator type.
In that case, the bit FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD will be set in the event mask,
the dir argument to handle_event will be the parent inode, the file_name
argument to handle_event is non NULL and refers to the name of the child
and the child inode can be accessed with fsnotify_data_inode().
This will allow fanotify to make decisions based on child or parent's
ignored mask. For example, when a parent is interested in a specific
event on its children, but a specific child wishes to ignore this event,
the event will not be reported. This is not what happens with current
code, but according to man page, it is the expected behavior.

The fanotify_fh struct has an inline buffer of size 12 which is enough
to store the most common local filesystem file handles (e.g. ext4, xfs).
For file handles that do not fit in the inline buffer (e.g. btrfs), an
external buffer is allocated to store the file handle.
When allocating a variable size fanotify_name_event, there is no point
in allocating also an external fh buffer when file handle does not fit
in the inline buffer.
Check required size for encoding fh, preallocate an event buffer
sufficient to contain both file handle and name and store the name after
the file handle.
At this time, when not reporting name in event, we still allocate
the fixed size fanotify_fid_event and an external buffer for large
file handles, but fanotify_alloc_name_event() has already been prepared
to accept a NULL file_name.

An fanotify event name is always recorded relative to a dir fh.
Encapsulate the name_len member of fanotify_name_event in a new struct
fanotify_info, which describes the parceling of the variable size
buffer of an fanotify_name_event.
The dir_fh member of fanotify_name_event is renamed to _dir_fh and is not
accessed directly, but via the fanotify_info_dir_fh() accessor.
Although the dir_fh len information is already available in struct
fanotify_fh, we store it also in dif_fh_totlen member of fanotify_info,
including the size of fanotify_fh header, so we know the offset of the
name in the buffer without looking inside the dir_fh.
We also add a file_fh_totlen member to allow packing another file handle
in the variable size buffer after the dir_fh and before the name.
We are going to use that space to store the child fid.

The 'inode' argument to handle_event(), sometimes referred to as
'to_tell' is somewhat obsolete.
It is a remnant from the times when a group could only have an inode mark
associated with an event.
We now pass an iter_info array to the callback, with all marks associated
with an event.
Most backends ignore this argument, with two exceptions:
1. dnotify uses it for sanity check that event is on directory
2. fanotify uses it to report fid of directory on directory entry
modification events
Remove the 'inode' argument and add a 'dir' argument.
The callback function signature is deliberately changed, because
the meaning of the argument has changed and the arguments have
been documented.
The 'dir' argument is set to when 'file_name' is specified and it is
referring to the directory that the 'file_name' entry belongs to.

The fsnotify paths are trivial to hit even when there are no watchers and
they are surprisingly expensive. For example, every successful vfs_write()
hits fsnotify_modify which calls both fsnotify_parent and fsnotify unless
FMODE_NONOTIFY is set which is an internal flag invisible to userspace.
As it stands, fsnotify_parent is a guaranteed functional call even if there
are no watchers and fsnotify() does a substantial amount of unnecessary
work before it checks if there are any watchers. A perf profile showed
that applying mnt->mnt_fsnotify_mask in fnotify() was almost half of the
total samples taken in that function during a test. This patch rearranges
the fast paths to reduce the amount of work done when there are no
watchers.
The test motivating this was "perf bench sched messaging --pipe". Despite
the fact the pipes are anonymous, fsnotify is still called a lot and
the overhead is noticeable even though it's completely pointless. It's
likely the overhead is negligible for real IO so this is an extreme
example. This is a comparison of hackbench using processes and pipes on
a 1-socket machine with 8 CPU threads without fanotify watchers.

This is showing that the latencies are improved by roughly 2-9%. The
variability is not shown but some of these results are within the noise
as this workload heavily overloads the machine. That said, the system CPU
usage is reduced by quite a bit so it makes sense to avoid the overhead
even if it is a bit tricky to detect at times. A perf profile of just 1
group of tasks showed that 5.14% of samples taken were in either fsnotify()
or fsnotify_parent(). With the patch, 2.8% of samples were in fsnotify,
mostly function entry and the initial check for watchers. The check for
watchers is complicated enough that inlining it may be controversial.

When user provides large buffer for events and there are lots of events
available, we can try to copy them all to userspace without scheduling
which can softlockup the kernel (furthermore exacerbated by the
contention on notification_lock). Add a scheduling point after copying
each event.
Note that usually the real underlying problem is the cost of fanotify
event merging and the resulting contention on notification_lock but this
is a cheap way to somewhat reduce the problem until we can properly
address that.

Merge tag 'docs-5.8' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"A fair amount of stuff this time around, dominated by yet another
massive set from Mauro toward the completion of the RST conversion. I
*really* hope we are getting close to the end of this. Meanwhile,
those patches reach pretty far afield to update document references
around the tree; there should be no actual code changes there. There
will be, alas, more of the usual trivial merge conflicts.
Beyond that we have more translations, improvements to the sphinx
scripting, a number of additions to the sysctl documentation, and lots
of fixes"

FAN_DIR_MODIFY has been enabled by commit 44d705b037 ("fanotify:
report name info for FAN_DIR_MODIFY event") in 5.7-rc1. Now we are
planning further extensions to the fanotify API and during that we
realized that FAN_DIR_MODIFY may behave slightly differently to be more
consistent with extensions we plan. So until we finalize these
extensions, let's not bind our hands with exposing FAN_DIR_MODIFY to
userland.

The comments in fanotify_group_event_mask() say:
"If the event is on dir/child and this mark doesn't care about
events on dir/child, don't send it!"
Specifically, mount and filesystem marks do not care about events
on child, but they can still specify an ignore mask for those events.
For example, a group that has:
- A mount mark with mask 0 and ignore_mask FAN_OPEN
- An inode mark on a directory with mask FAN_OPEN | FAN_OPEN_EXEC
with flag FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD
A child file open for exec would be reported to group with the FAN_OPEN
event despite the fact that FAN_OPEN is in ignore mask of mount mark,
because the mark iteration loop skips over non-inode marks for events
on child when calculating the ignore mask.
Move ignore mask calculation to the top of the iteration loop block
before excluding marks for events on dir/child.

fanotify_write() only aligned copy_from_user size to sizeof(response)
for higher values. This patch avoids all values below as suggested
by Amir Goldstein and set to response size unconditionally.

Call mutex_destroy() before freeing notification group. This only adds
some additional debug checks when mutex debugging is enabled but still
it may be useful.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array
members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in
which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to
zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding
some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also
help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues.
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

The intention was clearly to compare val[0] and val[1] in the two

Report event FAN_DIR_MODIFY with name in a variable length record similar
to how fid's are reported. With name info reporting implemented, setting
FAN_DIR_MODIFY in mark mask is now allowed.
When events are reported with name, the reported fid identifies the
directory and the name follows the fid. The info record type for this
event info is FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_DFID_NAME.
For now, all reported events have at most one info record which is
either FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_FID or FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_DFID_NAME (for
FAN_DIR_MODIFY). Later on, events "on child" will report both records.
There are several ways that an application can use this information:
1. When watching a single directory, the name is always relative to
the watched directory, so application need to fstatat(2) the name
relative to the watched directory.
2. When watching a set of directories, the application could keep a map
of dirfd for all watched directories and hash the map by fid obtained
with name_to_handle_at(2). When getting a name event, the fid in the
event info could be used to lookup the base dirfd in the map and then
call fstatat(2) with that dirfd.
3. When watching a filesystem (FAN_MARK_FILESYSTEM) or a large set of
directories, the application could use open_by_handle_at(2) with the fid
in event info to obtain dirfd for the directory where event happened and
call fstatat(2) with this dirfd.
The last option scales better for a large number of watched directories.
The first two options may be available in the future also for non
privileged fanotify watchers, because open_by_handle_at(2) requires
the CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH capability.

For FAN_DIR_MODIFY event, allocate a variable size event struct to store
the dir entry name along side the directory file handle.
At this point, name info reporting is not yet implemented, so trying to
set FAN_DIR_MODIFY in mark mask will return -EINVAL.
