<id>urn:sha1:dea4fec0d87d4401b5d2717aa7c6c6cad050fb62</id>
<content type='text'>
commit ee12595147ac1fbfb5bcb23837e26dd58d94b15d upstream.

This code calls fd_install() which gives the userspace access to the fd.
Then if copy_info_records_to_user() fails it calls put_unused_fd(fd) but
that will not release it and leads to a stale entry in the file
descriptor table.

Generally you can't trust the fd after a call to fd_install().  The fix
is to delay the fd_install() until everything else has succeeded.

Fortunately it requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN to reach this code so the security
impact is less.

Fixes: f644bc449b37 ("fanotify: fix copy_event_to_user() fid error clean up")

<content type='text'>
Wire up the FAN_FS_ERROR event in the fanotify_mark syscall, allowing
user space to request the monitoring of FAN_FS_ERROR events.

These events are limited to filesystem marks, so check it is the
case in the syscall handler.

The error info is a record sent to users on FAN_FS_ERROR events
documenting the type of error.  It also carries an error count,
documenting how many errors were observed since the last reporting.

Plumb the pieces to add a FID report to error records.  Since all error
event memory must be pre-allocated, we pre-allocate the maximum file
handle size possible, such that it should always fit.

For errors that don't expose a file handle, report it with an invalid
FID. Internally we use zero-length FILEID_ROOT file handle for passing
the information (which we report as zero-length FILEID_INVALID file
handle to userspace) so we update the handle reporting code to deal with
this case correctly.

struct fanotify_error_event, at least, is preallocated and isn't able to
to handle arbitrarily large file handles.  Future-proof the code by
complaining loudly if a handle larger than MAX_HANDLE_SZ is ever found.

<content type='text'>
Now that there is an event that reports FID records even for a zeroed
file handle, wrap the logic that deides whether to issue the records
into helper functions.  This shouldn't have any impact on the code, but
simplifies further patches.

fanotify_error_event would duplicate this sequence of declarations that
already exist elsewhere with a slight different size.  Create a helper
macro to avoid code duplication.

<content type='text'>
Error events (FAN_FS_ERROR) against the same file system can be merged
by simply iterating the error count.  The hash is taken from the fsid,
without considering the FH.  This means that only the first error object
is reported.

<title>fanotify: Support enqueueing of error events</title>

<content type='text'>
Once an error event is triggered, enqueue it in the notification group,
similarly to what is done for other events.  FAN_FS_ERROR is not
handled specially, since the memory is now handled by a preallocated
mempool.

For now, make the event unhashed.  A future patch implements merging of
this kind of event.

Pre-allocate slots for file system errors to have greater chances of
succeeding, since error events can happen in GFP_NOFS context.  This
patch introduces a group-wide mempool of error events, shared by all
FAN_FS_ERROR marks in this group.
