commit 8698e3bab4dd7968666e84e111d0bfd17c040e77 upstream.

Commit ceaf69f8eadc ("fanotify: do not allow setting dirent events in
mask of non-dir") added restrictions about setting dirent events in the
mask of a non-dir inode mark, which does not make any sense.

For backward compatibility, these restictions were added only to new
(v5.17+) APIs.

It also does not make any sense to set the flags FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD or
FAN_ONDIR in the mask of a non-dir inode.  Add these flags to the
dir-only restriction of the new APIs as well.

Move the check of the dir-only flags for new APIs into the helper
fanotify_events_supported(), which is only called for FAN_MARK_ADD,
because there is no need to error on an attempt to remove the dir-only
flags from non-dir inode.

<title>fsnotify: consistent behavior for parent not watching children</title>

<content type='text'>
commit e730558adffb88a52e562db089e969ee9510184a upstream.

The logic for handling events on child in groups that have a mark on
the parent inode, but without FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD flag in the mask is
duplicated in several places and inconsistent.

Move the logic into the preparation of mark type iterator, so that the
parent mark type will be excluded from all mark type iterations in that
case.

This results in several subtle changes of behavior, hopefully all
desired changes of behavior, for example:

- Group A has a mount mark with FS_MODIFY in mask
- Group A has a mark with ignore mask that does not survive FS_MODIFY
  and does not watch children on directory D.
- Group B has a mark with FS_MODIFY in mask that does watch children
  on directory D.
- FS_MODIFY event on file D/foo should not clear the ignore mask of
  group A, but before this change it does

And if group A ignore mask was set to survive FS_MODIFY:
- FS_MODIFY event on file D/foo should be reported to group A on account
  of the mount mark, but before this change it is wrongly ignored

commit 14362a2541797cf9df0e86fb12dcd7950baf566e upstream.

fsnotify_foreach_iter_mark_type() is used to reduce boilerplate code
of iterating all marks of a specific group interested in an event
by consulting the iterator report_mask.

Use an open coded version of that iterator in fsnotify_iter_next()
that collects all marks of the current iteration group without
consulting the iterator report_mask.

At the moment, the two iterator variants are the same, but this
decoupling will allow us to exclude some of the group's marks from
reporting the event, for example for event on child and inode marks
on parent did not request to watch events on children.

[ Upstream commit 623af4f538b5df9b416e1b82f720af7371b4c771 ]

Commit 6960b0d909cd ("fsnotify: change locking order") changed some
of the mark_mutex locks in direct reclaim path to use:
  mutex_lock_nested(&amp;group-&gt;mark_mutex, SINGLE_DEPTH_NESTING);

This change is explained:
 "...It uses nested locking to avoid deadlock in case we do the final
  iput() on an inode which still holds marks and thus would take the
  mutex again when calling fsnotify_inode_delete() in destroy_inode()."

The problem is that the mutex_lock_nested() is not a nested lock at
all. In fact, it has the opposite effect of preventing lockdep from
warning about a very possible deadlock.

Due to these wrong annotations, a deadlock that was introduced with
nfsd filecache in kernel v5.4 went unnoticed in v5.4.y for over two
years until it was reported recently by Khazhismel Kumykov, only to
find out that the deadlock was already fixed in kernel v5.5.

Fix the wrong lockdep annotations.

<title>fanotify: do not allow setting dirent events in mask of non-dir</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ceaf69f8eadcafb323392be88e7a5248c415d423</id>
<content type='text'>
Dirent events (create/delete/move) are only reported on watched
directory inodes, but in fanotify as well as in legacy inotify, it was
always allowed to set them on non-dir inode, which does not result in
any meaningful outcome.

Until kernel v5.17, dirent events in fanotify also differed from events
"on child" (e.g. FAN_OPEN) in the information provided in the event.
For example, FAN_OPEN could be set in the mask of a non-dir or the mask
of its parent and event would report the fid of the child regardless of
the marked object.
By contrast, FAN_DELETE is not reported if the child is marked and the
child fid was not reported in the events.

Since kernel v5.17, with fanotify group flag FAN_REPORT_TARGET_FID, the
fid of the child is reported with dirent events, like events "on child",
which may create confusion for users expecting the same behavior as
events "on child" when setting events in the mask on a child.

The desired semantics of setting dirent events in the mask of a child
are not clear, so for now, deny this action for a group initialized
with flag FAN_REPORT_TARGET_FID and for the new event FAN_RENAME.
We may relax this restriction in the future if we decide on the
semantics and implement them.

<title>fsnotify: optimize FS_MODIFY events with no ignored masks</title>

<id>urn:sha1:04e317ba72d07901b03399b3d1525e83424df5b3</id>
<content type='text'>
fsnotify() treats FS_MODIFY events specially - it does not skip them
even if the FS_MODIFY event does not apear in the object's fsnotify
mask.  This is because send_to_group() checks if FS_MODIFY needs to
clear ignored mask of marks.

The common case is that an object does not have any mark with ignored
mask and in particular, that it does not have a mark with ignored mask
and without the FSNOTIFY_MARK_FLAG_IGNORED_SURV_MODIFY flag.

Set FS_MODIFY in object's fsnotify mask during fsnotify_recalc_mask()
if object has a mark with an ignored mask and without the
FSNOTIFY_MARK_FLAG_IGNORED_SURV_MODIFY flag and remove the special
treatment of FS_MODIFY in fsnotify(), so that FS_MODIFY events could
be optimized in the common case.

Call fsnotify_recalc_mask() from fanotify after adding or removing an
ignored mask from a mark without FSNOTIFY_MARK_FLAG_IGNORED_SURV_MODIFY
or when adding the FSNOTIFY_MARK_FLAG_IGNORED_SURV_MODIFY flag to a mark
with ignored mask (the flag cannot be removed by fanotify uapi).

Performance results for doing 10000000 write(2)s to tmpfs:

				vanilla		patched
without notification mark	25.486+-1.054	24.965+-0.244
with notification mark		30.111+-0.139	26.891+-1.355

So we can see the overhead of notification subsystem has been
drastically reduced.

fsnotify_parent() does not consider the parent's mark at all unless
the parent inode shows interest in events on children and in the
specific event.

So unless parent added an event to both its mark mask and ignored mask,
the event will not be ignored.

Fix this by declaring the interest of an object in an event when the
event is in either a mark mask or ignored mask.
