6038f373a3 llseek: automatically add .llseek fop
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.

The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.

New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time.  Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.

The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.

Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.

Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

// The rules are
// - use no_llseek explicitly if we do nonseekable_open
// - use seq_lseek for sequential files
// - use default_llseek if we know we access f_pos
// - use noop_llseek if we know we don't access f_pos,
//   but we still want to allow users to call lseek

2eebf582c9 fanotify: flush outstanding perm requests on group destroy
When an fanotify listener is closing it may cause a deadlock between the
listener and the original task doing an fs operation.  If the original task
is waiting for a permissions response it will be holding the srcu lock.  The
listener cannot clean up and exit until after that srcu lock is syncronized.
Thus deadlock.  The fix introduced here is to stop accepting new permissions
events when a listener is shutting down and to grant permission for all
outstanding events.  Thus the original task will eventually release the srcu
lock and the listener can complete shutdown.

This reverts commit 3bcf3860a4 (and the

The 'struct file' approach not only causes that disgusting hack, it

f_count handling.

cb2d429faf fsnotify: add group priorities
This introduces an ordering to fsnotify groups.  With purely asynchronous
notification based "things" implementing fsnotify (inotify, dnotify) ordering
isn't particularly important.  But if people want to use fsnotify for the
basis of sycronous notification or blocking notification ordering becomes
important.

eg. A Hierarchical Storage Management listener would need to get its event
before an AV scanner could get its event (since the HSM would need to
bring the data in for the AV scanner to scan.)  Typically asynchronous notification
would want to run after the AV scanner made any relevant access decisions
so as to not send notification about an event that was denied.

b9e4e3bd04 fanotify: allow users to set an ignored_mask
Change the sys_fanotify_mark() system call so users can set ignored_masks
on inodes.  Remember, if a user new sets a real mask, and only sets ignored
masks, the ignore will never be pinned in memory.  Thus ignored_masks can
be lost under memory pressure and the user may again get events they
previously thought were ignored.

90b1e7a578 fsnotify: allow marks to not pin inodes in core
inotify marks must pin inodes in core.  dnotify doesn't technically need to
since they are closed when the directory is closed.  fanotify also need to
pin inodes in core as it works today.  But the next step is to introduce
the concept of 'ignored masks' which is actually a mask of events for an
inode of no interest.  I claim that these should be liberally sent to the
kernel and should not pin the inode in core.  If the inode is brought back
in the listener will get an event it may have thought excluded, but this is
not a serious situation and one any listener should deal with.

This patch lays the ground work for non-pinning inode marks by using lazy
inode pinning.  We do not pin a mark until it has a non-zero mask entry.  If a
listener new sets a mask we never pin the inode.

9bbfc964b8 fanotify: CONFIG_HAVE_SYSCALL_WRAPPERS for sys_fanotify_mark
Please note that you need the patch below in addition, otherwise the
syscall wrapper stuff won't work on those 32 bit architectures which enable
the wrappers.

When enabled the syscall wrapper defines always take long parameters and then
cast them to whatever is needed. This approach doesn't work for the 32 bit
case where the original syscall takes a long long parameter, since we would
lose the upper 32 bits.
So syscalls with 64 bit arguments are special cases wrt to syscall wrappers
and enp up in the ugliness below (see also sys_fallocate). In addition these
special cased syscall wrappers have the drawback that ftrace syscall tracing
doesn't work on them, since they don't get defined by using the usual macros.

2a3edf8604 fanotify: fanotify_mark syscall implementation
NAME
	fanotify_mark - add, remove, or modify an fanotify mark on a
filesystem object

SYNOPSIS
	int fanotify_mark(int fanotify_fd, unsigned int flags, u64 mask,
			  int dfd, const char *pathname)

DESCRIPTION
	fanotify_mark() is used to add remove or modify a mark on a filesystem
	object.  Marks are used to indicate that the fanotify group is
	interested in events which occur on that object.  At this point in
	time marks may only be added to files and directories.

	fanotify_fd must be a file descriptor returned by fanotify_init()

	The flags field must contain exactly one of the following:

	FAN_MARK_ADD - or the bits in mask and ignored mask into the mark
	FAN_MARK_REMOVE - bitwise remove the bits in mask and ignored mark
		from the mark

	The following values can be OR'd into the flags field:

	FAN_MARK_DONT_FOLLOW - same meaning as O_NOFOLLOW as described in open(2)
	FAN_MARK_ONLYDIR - same meaning as O_DIRECTORY as described in open(2)

	dfd may be any of the following:
	AT_FDCWD: the object will be lookup up based on pathname similar
		to open(2)

	file descriptor of a directory: if pathname is not NULL the
		object to modify will be lookup up similar to openat(2)

	file descriptor of the final object: if pathname is NULL the
		object to modify will be the object referenced by dfd

	The mask is the bitwise OR of the set of events of interest such as:
	FAN_ACCESS		- object was accessed (read)
	FAN_MODIFY		- object was modified (write)
	FAN_CLOSE_WRITE		- object was writable and was closed
	FAN_CLOSE_NOWRITE	- object was read only and was closed
	FAN_OPEN		- object was opened
	FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD	- interested in objected that happen to
				  children.  Only relavent when the object
				  is a directory
	FAN_Q_OVERFLOW		- event queue overflowed (not implemented)

RETURN VALUE
	On success, this system call returns 0. On error, -1 is
	returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
	EINVAL An invalid value was specified in flags.

	EINVAL An invalid value was specified in mask.

	EINVAL An invalid value was specified in ignored_mask.

52c923dd07 fanotify: fanotify_init syscall implementation
NAME
	fanotify_init - initialize an fanotify group

SYNOPSIS
	int fanotify_init(unsigned int flags, unsigned int event_f_flags, int priority);

DESCRIPTION
	fanotify_init() initializes a new fanotify instance and returns a file
	descriptor associated with the new fanotify event queue.

	The following values can be OR'd into the flags field:

	FAN_NONBLOCK Set the O_NONBLOCK file status flag on the new open file description.
		Using this flag saves extra calls to fcntl(2) to achieve the same
		result.

	FAN_CLOEXEC Set the close-on-exec (FD_CLOEXEC) flag on the new file descriptor.
		See the description of the O_CLOEXEC flag in open(2) for reasons why
		this may be useful.

	The event_f_flags argument is unused and must be set to 0

	The priority argument is unused and must be set to 0

RETURN VALUE
	On success, this system call return a new file descriptor. On error, -1 is
	returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
	EINVAL An invalid value was specified in flags.

	EINVAL A non-zero valid was passed in event_f_flags or in priority

	ENFILE The system limit on the total number of file descriptors has been reached.

	ENOMEM Insufficient kernel memory is available.

CONFORMING TO
	These system calls are Linux-specific.

11637e4b7d fanotify: fanotify_init syscall declaration
This patch defines a new syscall fanotify_init() of the form:

int sys_fanotify_init(unsigned int flags, unsigned int event_f_flags,
		      unsigned int priority)

This syscall is used to create and fanotify group.  This is very similar to
the inotify_init() syscall.
