inotify: fix race when adding a new watch

2013-07-09T17:33:20Z

In inotify_new_watch() the number of watches for a group is compared against the max number of allowed watches and increased afterwards. The check and incrementation is not done atomically, so it is possible for multiple concurrent threads to pass the check and increment the number of marks above the allowed max. This patch uses an inotify groups mark_lock to ensure that both check and incrementation are done atomic. Furthermore we dont have to worry about the race that allows a concurrent thread to add a watch just after inotify_update_existing_watch() returned with -ENOENT anymore, since this is also synchronized by the groups mark mutex now.

inotify: invalid mask should return a error number but not set it

2013-05-01T00:04:00Z

When we run the crackerjack testsuite, the inotify_add_watch test is stalled. This is caused by the invalid mask 0 - the task is waiting for the event but it never comes. inotify_add_watch() should return -EINVAL as it did before commit 676a0675cf92 ("inotify: remove broken mask checks causing unmount to be EINVAL"). That commit removes the invalid mask check, but that check is needed. Check the mask's ALL_INOTIFY_BITS before the inotify_arg_to_mask() call. If none are set, just return -EINVAL. Because IN_UNMOUNT is in ALL_INOTIFY_BITS, this change will not trigger the problem that above commit fixed.

inotify: convert to idr_alloc()

2013-02-28T03:10:19Z

Convert to the much saner new idr interface. Note that the adhoc cyclic id allocation is buggy. If wraparound happens, the previous code with idr_get_new_above() may segfault and the converted code will trigger WARN and return -EINVAL. Even if it's fixed to wrap to zero, the code will be prone to unnecessary -ENOSPC failures after the first wraparound. We probably need to implement proper cyclic support in idr.

inotify: remove broken mask checks causing unmount to be EINVAL

2013-02-22T01:22:16Z

Running the command: inotifywait -e unmount /mnt/disk immediately aborts with a -EINVAL return code. This is however a valid parameter. This abort occurs only if unmount is the sole event parameter. If other event parameters are supplied, then the unmount event wait will work. The problem was introduced by commit 44b350fc23e ("inotify: Fix mask checks"). In that commit, it states: The mask checks in inotify_update_existing_watch() and inotify_new_watch() are useless because inotify_arg_to_mask() sets FS_IN_IGNORED and FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD bits anyway. But instead of removing the useless checks, it did this: mask = inotify_arg_to_mask(arg); - if (unlikely(!mask)) + if (unlikely(!(mask & IN_ALL_EVENTS))) return -EINVAL; The problem is that IN_ALL_EVENTS doesn't include IN_UNMOUNT, and other parts of the code keep IN_UNMOUNT separate from IN_ALL_EVENTS. So the check should be: if (unlikely(!(mask & (IN_ALL_EVENTS | IN_UNMOUNT)))) But inotify_arg_to_mask(arg) always sets the IN_UNMOUNT bit in the mask anyway, so the check is always going to pass and thus should simply be removed. Also note that inotify_arg_to_mask completely controls what mask bits get set from arg, there's no way for invalid bits to get enabled there. Lets fix it by simply removing the useless broken checks.

Merge branch 'for-next' of git://git.infradead.org/users/eparis/notify

2012-12-21T04:11:52Z

Pull filesystem notification updates from Eric Paris: "This pull mostly is about locking changes in the fsnotify system. By switching the group lock from a spin_lock() to a mutex() we can now hold the lock across things like iput(). This fixes a problem involving unmounting a fs and having inodes be busy, first pointed out by FAT, but reproducible with tmpfs. This also restores signal driven I/O for inotify, which has been broken since about 2.6.32." Ugh. I *hate* the timing of this. It was rebased after the merge window opened, and then left to sit with the pull request coming the day before the merge window closes. That's just crap. But apparently the patches themselves have been around for over a year, just gathering dust, so now it's suddenly critical. Fixed up semantic conflict in fs/notify/fdinfo.c as per Stephen Rothwell's fixes from -next. * 'for-next' of git://git.infradead.org/users/eparis/notify: inotify: automatically restart syscalls inotify: dont skip removal of watch descriptor if creation of ignored event failed fanotify: dont merge permission events fsnotify: make fasync generic for both inotify and fanotify fsnotify: change locking order fsnotify: dont put marks on temporary list when clearing marks by group fsnotify: introduce locked versions of fsnotify_add_mark() and fsnotify_remove_mark() fsnotify: pass group to fsnotify_destroy_mark() fsnotify: use a mutex instead of a spinlock to protect a groups mark list fanotify: add an extra flag to mark_remove_from_mask that indicates wheather a mark should be destroyed fsnotify: take groups mark_lock before mark lock fsnotify: use reference counting for groups fsnotify: introduce fsnotify_get_group() inotify, fanotify: replace fsnotify_put_group() with fsnotify_destroy_group()
