We got a report that adding a fanotify filsystem watch prevents tail -f
from receiving events.
Reproducer:
1. Create 3 windows / login sessions. Become root in each session.
2. Choose a mounted filesystem that is pretty quiet; I picked /boot.
3. In the first window, run: fsnotifywait -S -m /boot
4. In the second window, run: echo data >> /boot/foo
5. In the third window, run: tail -f /boot/foo
6. Go back to the second window and run: echo more data >> /boot/foo
7. Observe that the tail command doesn't show the new data.
8. In the first window, hit control-C to interrupt fsnotifywait.
9. In the second window, run: echo still more data >> /boot/foo
10. Observe that the tail command in the third window has now printed
the missing data.
When stracing tail, we observed that when fanotify filesystem mark is
set, tail does get the inotify event, but the event is receieved with
the filename:
read(4, "\1\0\0\0\2\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\20\0\0\0foo\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0",
50) = 32
This is unexpected, because tail is watching the file itself and not its
parent and is inconsistent with the inotify event received by tail when
fanotify filesystem mark is not set:
read(4, "\1\0\0\0\2\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 50) = 16
The inteference between different fsnotify groups was caused by the fact
that the mark on the sb requires the filename, so the filename is passed
to fsnotify(). Later on, fsnotify_handle_event() tries to take care of
not passing the filename to groups (such as inotify) that are interested
in the filename only when the parent is watching.
But the logic was incorrect for the case that no group is watching the
parent, some groups are watching the sb and some watching the inode.

When working in "fd mode", fanotify_read() needs to open an fd
from a dentry to report event->fd to userspace.
Opening an fd from dentry can fail for several reasons.
For example, when tasks are gone and we try to open their
/proc files or we try to open a WRONLY file like in sysfs
or when trying to open a file that was deleted on the
remote network server.
Add a new flag FAN_REPORT_FD_ERROR for fanotify_init().
For a group with FAN_REPORT_FD_ERROR, we will send the
event with the error instead of the open fd, otherwise
userspace may not get the error at all.
For an overflow event, we report -EBADF to avoid confusing FAN_NOFD
with -EPERM. Similarly for pidfd open errors we report either -ESRCH
or the open error instead of FAN_NOPIDFD and FAN_EPIDFD.
In any case, userspace will not know which file failed to
open, so add a debug print for further investigation.

[Analysis]
The problem is that inotify_new_watch() is using GFP_KERNEL to allocate
new watches under group->mark_mutex, however if dentry reclaim races
with unlinking of an inode, it can end up dropping the last dentry reference
for an unlinked inode resulting in removal of fsnotify mark from reclaim
context which wants to acquire group->mark_mutex as well.
This scenario shows that all notification groups are in principle prone
to this kind of a deadlock (previously, we considered only fanotify and
dnotify to be problematic for other reasons) so make sure all
allocations under group->mark_mutex happen with GFP_NOFS.

Merge tag 'pull-stable-struct_fd' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull 'struct fd' updates from Al Viro:
"Just the 'struct fd' layout change, with conversion to accessor
helpers"
* tag 'pull-stable-struct_fd' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
add struct fd constructors, get rid of __to_fd()
struct fd: representation change
introduce fd_file(), convert all accessors to it.
We do embedd struct fown_struct into struct file letting it take up 32
bytes in total. We could tweak struct fown_struct to be more compact but
really it shouldn't even be embedded in struct file in the first place.
Instead, actual users of struct fown_struct should allocate the struct
on demand. This frees up 24 bytes in struct file.
That will have some potentially user-visible changes for the ownership
fcntl()s. Some of them can now fail due to allocation failures.
Practically, that probably will almost never happen as the allocations
are small and they only happen once per file.
The fown_struct is used during kill_fasync() which is used by e.g.,
pipes to generate a SIGIO signal. Sending of such signals is conditional
on userspace having set an owner for the file using one of the F_OWNER
fcntl()s. Such users will be unaffected if struct fown_struct is
allocated during the fcntl() call.
There are a few subsystems that call __f_setown() expecting
file->f_owner to be allocated:
(1) tun devices
file->f_op->fasync::tun_chr_fasync()
-> __f_setown()
There are no callers of tun_chr_fasync().
(2) tty devices
file->f_op->fasync::tty_fasync()
-> __tty_fasync()
-> __f_setown()
tty_fasync() has no additional callers but __tty_fasync() has. Note
that __tty_fasync() only calls __f_setown() if the @on argument is
true. It's called from:
file->f_op->release::tty_release()
-> tty_release()
-> __tty_fasync()
-> __f_setown()
tty_release() calls __tty_fasync() with @on false
=> __f_setown() is never called from tty_release().
=> All callers of tty_release() are safe as well.
file->f_op->release::tty_open()
-> tty_release()
-> __tty_fasync()
-> __f_setown()
__tty_hangup() calls __tty_fasync() with @on false
=> __f_setown() is never called from tty_release().
=> All callers of __tty_hangup() are safe as well.
From the callchains it's obvious that (1) and (2) end up getting called
via file->f_op->fasync(). That can happen either through the F_SETFL
fcntl() with the FASYNC flag raised or via the FIOASYNC ioctl(). If
FASYNC is requested and the file isn't already FASYNC then
file->f_op->fasync() is called with @on true which ends up causing both
(1) and (2) to call __f_setown().
(1) and (2) are the only subsystems that call __f_setown() from the
file->f_op->fasync() handler. So both (1) and (2) have been updated to
allocate a struct fown_struct prior to calling fasync_helper() to
register with the fasync infrastructure. That's safe as they both call
fasync_helper() which also does allocations if @on is true.
The other interesting case are file leases:
(3) file leases
lease_manager_ops->lm_setup::lease_setup()
-> __f_setown()
Which in turn is called from:
generic_add_lease()
-> lease_manager_ops->lm_setup::lease_setup()
-> __f_setown()
So here again we can simply make generic_add_lease() allocate struct
fown_struct prior to the lease_manager_ops->lm_setup::lease_setup()
which happens under a spinlock.
With that the two remaining subsystems that call __f_setown() are:
(4) dnotify
(5) sockets
Both have their own custom ioctls to set struct fown_struct and both
have been converted to allocate a struct fown_struct on demand from
their respective ioctls.
Interactions with O_PATH are fine as well e.g., when opening a /dev/tty
as O_PATH then no file->f_op->open() happens thus no file->f_owner is
allocated. That's fine as no file operation will be set for those and
the device has never been opened. fcntl()s called on such things will
just allocate a ->f_owner on demand. Although I have zero idea why'd you
care about f_owner on an O_PATH fd.

For any changes of struct fd representation we need to
turn existing accesses to fields into calls of wrappers.
Accesses to struct fd::flags are very few (3 in linux/file.h,
1 in net/socket.c, 3 in fs/overlayfs/file.c and 3 more in
explicit initializers).
Those can be dealt with in the commit converting to
new layout; accesses to struct fd::file are too many for that.
This commit converts (almost) all of f.file to
fd_file(f). It's not entirely mechanical ('file' is used as
a member name more than just in struct fd) and it does not
even attempt to distinguish the uses in pointer context from
those in boolean context; the latter will be eventually turned
into a separate helper (fd_empty()).
NOTE: mass conversion to fd_empty(), tempting as it
might be, is a bad idea; better do that piecewise in commit
that convert from fdget...() to CLASS(...).

In some setups directories can have many (usually negative) dentries.
Hence __fsnotify_update_child_dentry_flags() function can take a
significant amount of time. Since the bulk of this function happens
under inode->i_lock this causes a significant contention on the lock
when we remove the watch from the directory as the
__fsnotify_update_child_dentry_flags() call from fsnotify_recalc_mask()
races with __fsnotify_update_child_dentry_flags() calls from
__fsnotify_parent() happening on children. This can lead upto softlockup
reports reported by users.
Fix the problem by calling fsnotify_update_children_dentry_flags() to
set PARENT_WATCHED flags only when parent starts watching children.
When parent stops watching children, clear false positive PARENT_WATCHED
flags lazily in __fsnotify_parent() for each accessed child.

This reverts commit e659522446.
These kinds of patches are only making the code worse.
Compilers don't care about the unnecessary check, but removing it makes
the code less obvious to a human. The declaration of 'len' is more than
80 lines earlier, so a human won't easily see that 'len' is of an
unsigned type, so to a human the range check that checks against zero is
much more explicit and obvious.
Any tool that complains about a range check like this just because the
variable is unsigned is actively detrimental, and should be ignored.

Commit e43de7f086 ("fsnotify: optimize the case of no marks of any type")
optimized the case where there are no fsnotify watchers on any of the
filesystem's objects.
It is quite common for a system to have a single local filesystem and
it is quite common for the system to have some inotify watches on some
config files or directories, so the optimization of no marks at all is
often not in effect.
Permission event watchers, which require high priority group are more
rare, so optimizing the case of no marks og high priority groups can
improve performance for more systems, especially for performance
sensitive io workloads.
Count per-sb watched objects by high priority groups and use that the
optimize out the call to __fsnotify_parent() and fsnotify() in fsnotify

Instead of counting the number of connectors in an sb, we would like
to count the number of watched objects per priority group.
As a start, create an accessor fsnotify_sb_watched_objects() to
s_fsnotify_connectors and rename the fsnotify_{get,put}_sb_connectors()
helpers to fsnotify_{get,put}_sb_watchers() to better describes the
counter.
Increment the counter at the end of fsnotify_attach_connector_to_object()
if connector was attached instead of decrementing it on race to connect.
This is fine, because fsnotify_delete_sb() cannot be running in parallel
to fsnotify_attach_connector_to_object() which requires a reference to

To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a size
penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the sentinel, the
final empty element on the sysctl array. Joel Granados has been doing all this
work. On the v6.6 kernel we got the major infrastructure changes required to
support this. For v6.7 we had all arch/ and drivers/ modified to remove
the sentinel. For v6.8-rc1 we get a few more updates for fs/ directory only.
The kernel/ directory is left but we'll save that for v6.9-rc1 as those patches
are still being reviewed. After that we then can expect also the removal of the
no longer needed check for procname == NULL.
Let us recap the purpose of this work:
- this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array
- the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move sysctls
out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files
Thomas Weißschuh also sent a few cleanups, for v6.9-rc1 we expect to see further
work by Thomas Weißschuh with the constificatin of the struct ctl_table.
Due to Joel Granados's work, and to help bring in new blood, I have suggested
for him to become a maintainer and he's accepted. So for v6.9-rc1 I look forward
to seeing him sent you a pull request for further sysctl changes. This also
removes Iurii Zaikin as a maintainer as he has moved on to other projects and
has had no time to help at all.

So far, fanotify returns -ENODEV or -EXDEV when trying to set a mark
on a filesystem with a "weak" fsid, namely, zero fsid (e.g. fuse), or
non-uniform fsid (e.g. btrfs non-root subvol).
When group is watching inodes all from the same filesystem (or subvol),
allow adding inode marks with "weak" fsid, because there is no ambiguity
regarding which filesystem reports the event.
The first mark added to a group determines if this group is single or
multi filesystem, depending on the fsid at the path of the added mark.
If the first mark added has a "strong" fsid, marks with "weak" fsid
cannot be added and vice versa.
If the first mark added has a "weak" fsid, following marks must have
the same "weak" fsid and the same sb as the first mark.

Some filesystems like fuse and nfs have zero or non-unique fsid.
We would like to avoid reporting ambiguous fsid in events, so we need
to avoid marking objects with same fsid and different sb.
To make this easier to enforce, store the fsid in the marks of the group

Pull vfs fanotify fsid updates from Christian Brauner:
"This work is part of the plan to enable fanotify to serve as a drop-in
replacement for inotify. While inotify is availabe on all filesystems,
fanotify currently isn't.
In order to support fanotify on all filesystems two things are needed:
(1) all filesystems need to support AT_HANDLE_FID
(2) all filesystems need to report a non-zero f_fsid
This contains (1) and allows filesystems to encode non-decodable file
handlers for fanotify without implementing any exportfs operations by
encoding a file id of type FILEID_INO64_GEN from i_ino and
i_generation.
Filesystems that want to opt out of encoding non-decodable file ids
for fanotify that don't support NFS export can do so by providing an
empty export_operations struct.
This also partially addresses (2) by generating f_fsid for simple
filesystems as well as freevxfs. Remaining filesystems will be dealt
with by separate patches.
Finally, this contains the patch from the current exportfs maintainers
which moves exportfs under vfs with Chuck, Jeff, and Amir as
maintainers and vfs.git as tree"

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes
for vfs and individual fses.
Features:
- Rename and export helpers that get write access to a mount. They
are used in overlayfs to get write access to the upper mount.
- Print the pretty name of the root device on boot failure. This
helps in scenarios where we would usually only print
"unknown-block(1,2)".
- Add an internal SB_I_NOUMASK flag. This is another part in the
endless POSIX ACL saga in a way.
When POSIX ACLs are enabled via SB_POSIXACL the vfs cannot strip
the umask because if the relevant inode has POSIX ACLs set it might
take the umask from there. But if the inode doesn't have any POSIX
ACLs set then we apply the umask in the filesytem itself. So we end
up with:
(1) no SB_POSIXACL -> strip umask in vfs
(2) SB_POSIXACL -> strip umask in filesystem
The umask semantics associated with SB_POSIXACL allowed filesystems
that don't even support POSIX ACLs at all to raise SB_POSIXACL
purely to avoid umask stripping. That specifically means NFS v4 and
Overlayfs. NFS v4 does it because it delegates this to the server
and Overlayfs because it needs to delegate umask stripping to the
upper filesystem, i.e., the filesystem used as the writable layer.
This went so far that SB_POSIXACL is raised eve on kernels that
don't even have POSIX ACL support at all.
Stop this blatant abuse and add SB_I_NOUMASK which is an internal
superblock flag that filesystems can raise to opt out of umask
handling. That should really only be the two mentioned above. It's
not that we want any filesystems to do this. Ideally we have all
umask handling always in the vfs.
- Make overlayfs use SB_I_NOUMASK too.
- Now that we have SB_I_NOUMASK, stop checking for SB_POSIXACL in
IS_POSIXACL() if the kernel doesn't have support for it. This is a
very old patch but it's only possible to do this now with the wider
cleanup that was done.
- Follow-up work on fake path handling from last cycle. Citing mostly
from Amir:
When overlayfs was first merged, overlayfs files of regular files
and directories, the ones that are installed in file table, had a
"fake" path, namely, f_path is the overlayfs path and f_inode is
the "real" inode on the underlying filesystem.
In v6.5, we took another small step by introducing of the
backing_file container and the file_real_path() helper. This change
allowed vfs and filesystem code to get the "real" path of an
overlayfs backing file. With this change, we were able to make
fsnotify work correctly and report events on the "real" filesystem
objects that were accessed via overlayfs.
This method works fine, but it still leaves the vfs vulnerable to
new code that is not aware of files with fake path. A recent
example is commit db1d1e8b98 ("IMA: use vfs_getattr_nosec to get
the i_version"). This commit uses direct referencing to f_path in
IMA code that otherwise uses file_inode() and file_dentry() to
reference the filesystem objects that it is measuring.
This contains work to switch things around: instead of having
filesystem code opt-in to get the "real" path, have generic code
opt-in for the "fake" path in the few places that it is needed.
Is it far more likely that new filesystems code that does not use
the file_dentry() and file_real_path() helpers will end up causing
crashes or averting LSM/audit rules if we keep the "fake" path
exposed by default.
This change already makes file_dentry() moot, but for now we did
not change this helper just added a WARN_ON() in ovl_d_real() to
catch if we have made any wrong assumptions.
After the dust settles on this change, we can make file_dentry() a
plain accessor and we can drop the inode argument to ->d_real().
- Switch struct file to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU. This looks like a small
change but it really isn't and I would like to see everyone on
their tippie toes for any possible bugs from this work.
Essentially we've been doing most of what SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU for
files since a very long time because of the nasty interactions
between the SCM_RIGHTS file descriptor garbage collection. So
extending it makes a lot of sense but it is a subtle change. There
are almost no places that fiddle with file rcu semantics directly
and the ones that did mess around with struct file internal under
rcu have been made to stop doing that because it really was always
dodgy.
I forgot to put in the link tag for this change and the discussion
in the commit so adding it into the merge message:

Cleanups:
- Various smaller pipe cleanups including the removal of a spin lock
that was only used to protect against writes without pipe_lock()
from O_NOTIFICATION_PIPE aka watch queues. As that was never
implemented remove the additional locking from pipe_write().
- Annotate struct watch_filter with the new __counted_by attribute.
- Clarify do_unlinkat() cleanup so that it doesn't look like an extra
iput() is done that would cause issues.
- Simplify file cleanup when the file has never been opened.
- Use module helper instead of open-coding it.
- Predict error unlikely for stale retry.
- Use WRITE_ONCE() for mount expiry field instead of just commenting
that one hopes the compiler doesn't get smart.
Fixes:
- Fix readahead on block devices.
- Fix writeback when layztime is enabled and inodes whose timestamp
is the only thing that changed reside on wb->b_dirty_time. This
caused excessively large zombie memory cgroup when lazytime was
enabled as such inodes weren't handled fast enough.

Commit a95aef69a7 ("fanotify: support reporting non-decodeable file
handles") merged in v6.5-rc1, added the ability to use an fanotify group
with FAN_REPORT_FID mode to watch filesystems that do not support nfs
export, but do know how to encode non-decodeable file handles, with the
newly introduced AT_HANDLE_FID flag.
At the time that this commit was merged, there were no filesystems
in-tree with those traits.
Commit 16aac5ad1f ("ovl: support encoding non-decodable file handles"),
merged in v6.6-rc1, added this trait to overlayfs, thus allowing fanotify
watching of overlayfs with FAN_REPORT_FID mode.
In retrospect, allowing an fanotify filesystem/mount mark on such
filesystem in FAN_REPORT_FID mode will result in getting events with
file handles, without the ability to resolve the filesystem objects from
those file handles (i.e. no open_by_handle_at() support).
For v6.6, the safer option would be to allow this mode for inode marks
only, where the caller has the opportunity to use name_to_handle_at() at
the time of setting the mark. In the future we can revise this decision.

In recent discussions around some performance improvements in the file
handling area we discussed switching the file cache to rely on
SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU which allows us to get rid of call_rcu() based
freeing for files completely. This is a pretty sensitive change overall
but it might actually be worth doing.
The main downside is the subtlety. The other one is that we should
really wait for Jann's patch to land that enables KASAN to handle
SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU UAFs. Currently it doesn't but a patch for this
exists.
With SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU objects may be freed and reused multiple times
which requires a few changes. So it isn't sufficient anymore to just
acquire a reference to the file in question under rcu using
atomic_long_inc_not_zero() since the file might have already been
recycled and someone else might have bumped the reference.
In other words, callers might see reference count bumps from newer
users. For this reason it is necessary to verify that the pointer is the
same before and after the reference count increment. This pattern can be
seen in get_file_rcu() and __files_get_rcu().
In addition, it isn't possible to access or check fields in struct file
without first aqcuiring a reference on it. Not doing that was always
very dodgy and it was only usable for non-pointer data in struct file.
With SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU it is necessary that callers first acquire a
reference under rcu or they must hold the files_lock of the fdtable.
Failing to do either one of this is a bug.
Thanks to Jann for pointing out that we need to ensure memory ordering
between reallocations and pointer check by ensuring that all subsequent
loads have a dependency on the second load in get_file_rcu() and
providing a fixup that was folded into this patch.

Hopefully, nobody is trying to abuse mount/sb marks for watching all
anonymous pipes/inodes.
I cannot think of a good reason to allow this - it looks like an
oversight that dated back to the original fanotify API.

The exportfs_encode_*() helpers call the filesystem ->encode_fh()
method which returns a signed int.
All the in-tree implementations of ->encode_fh() return a positive
integer and FILEID_INVALID (255) for error.
Fortify the callers for possible future ->encode_fh() implementation
that will return a negative error value.
name_to_handle_at() would propagate the returned error to the users
if filesystem ->encode_fh() method returns an error.

fanotify users do not always need to decode the file handles reported
with FAN_REPORT_FID.
Relax the restriction that filesystem needs to support NFS export and
allow reporting file handles from filesystems that only support ecoding
unique file handles.
Even filesystems that do not have export_operations at all can fallback
to use the default FILEID_INO32_GEN encoding, but we use the existence
of export_operations as an indication that the encoded file handles will
be sufficiently unique and that user will be able to compare them to
filesystem objects using AT_HANDLE_FID flag to name_to_handle_at(2).
For filesystems that do not support NFS export, users will have to use
the AT_HANDLE_FID of name_to_handle_at(2) if they want to compare the
object in path to the object fid reported in an event.

So far, all callers of exportfs_encode_inode_fh(), except for fsnotify's
show_mark_fhandle(), check that filesystem can decode file handles, but
we would like to add more callers that do not require a file handle that
can be decoded.
Introduce a flag to explicitly request a file handle that may not to be
decoded later and a wrapper exportfs_encode_fid() that sets this flag
and convert show_mark_fhandle() to use the new wrapper.
This will be used to allow adding fanotify support to filesystems that
do not support NFS export.

When inotify_freeing_mark() races with inotify_handle_inode_event() it
can happen that inotify_handle_inode_event() sees that i_mark->wd got
already reset to -1 and reports this value to userspace which can
confuse the inotify listener. Avoid the problem by validating that wd is
sensible (and pretend the mark got removed before the event got
generated otherwise).

We generally try to avoid installing a file descriptor into the caller's
file descriptor table just to close it again via close_fd() in case an
error occurs. Instead we reserve a file descriptor but don't install it
into the caller's file descriptor table yet. If we fail for other,
unrelated reasons we can just close the reserved file descriptor and if
we make it past all meaningful error paths we just install it. Fanotify
gets this right already for one fd type but not for pidfds.
Use the new pidfd_prepare() helper to reserve a pidfd and a pidfd file
and switch to the more common fd allocation and installation pattern.

This pull request contains the following branches:
doc.2023.01.05a: Documentation updates.
fixes.2023.01.23a: Miscellaneous fixes, perhaps most notably:
o Throttling callback invocation based on the number of callbacks
that are now ready to invoke instead of on the total number
of callbacks.
o Several patches that suppress false-positive boot-time
diagnostics, for example, due to lockdep not yet being
initialized.
o Make expedited RCU CPU stall warnings dump stacks of any tasks
that are blocking the stalled grace period. (Normal RCU CPU
stall warnings have doen this for mnay years.)
o Lazy-callback fixes to avoid delays during boot, suspend, and
resume. (Note that lazy callbacks must be explicitly enabled,
so this should not (yet) affect production use cases.)
kvfree.2023.01.03a: Cause kfree_rcu() and friends to take advantage of
polled grace periods, thus reducing memory footprint by almost
two orders of magnitude, admittedly on a microbenchmark.
This series also begins the transition from kfree_rcu(p) to
kfree_rcu_mightsleep(p). This transition was motivated by bugs
where kfree_rcu(p), which can block, was typed instead of the
intended kfree_rcu(p, rh).
srcu.2023.01.03a: SRCU updates, perhaps most notably fixing a bug that
causes SRCU to fail when booted on a system with a non-zero boot
CPU. This surprising situation actually happens for kdump kernels
on the powerpc architecture. It also adds an srcu_down_read()
and srcu_up_read(), which act like srcu_read_lock() and
srcu_read_unlock(), but allow an SRCU read-side critical section
to be handed off from one task to another.
srcu-always.2023.02.02a: Cleans up the now-useless SRCU Kconfig option.
There are a few more commits that are not yet acked or pulled
into maintainer trees, and these will be in a pull request for
a later merge window.
tasks.2023.01.03a: RCU-tasks updates, perhaps most notably these fixes:
o A strange interaction between PID-namespace unshare and the
RCU-tasks grace period that results in a low-probability but
very real hang.
o A race between an RCU tasks rude grace period on a single-CPU
system and CPU-hotplug addition of the second CPU that can result
in a too-short grace period.
o A race between shrinking RCU tasks down to a single callback list
and queuing a new callback to some other CPU, but where that
queuing is delayed for more than an RCU grace period. This can
result in that callback being stranded on the non-boot CPU.
torture.2023.01.05a: Torture-test updates and fixes.
torturescript.2023.01.03a: Torture-test scripting updates and fixes.
stall.2023.01.09a: Provide additional RCU CPU stall-warning information
in kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_CPUTIME=y, and
restore the full five-minute timeout limit for expedited RCU
CPU stall warnings.

This patch passes the full response so that the audit function can use all
of it. The audit function was updated to log the additional information in
the AUDIT_FANOTIFY record.
Currently the only type of fanotify info that is defined is an audit
rule number, but convert it to hex encoding to future-proof the field.
Hex encoding suggested by Paul Moore <paul@paul-moore.com>.
The {subj,obj}_trust values are {0,1,2}, corresponding to no, yes, unknown.
Sample records:
type=FANOTIFY msg=audit(1600385147.372:590): resp=2 fan_type=1 fan_info=3137 subj_trust=3 obj_trust=5
type=FANOTIFY msg=audit(1659730979.839:284): resp=1 fan_type=0 fan_info=0 subj_trust=2 obj_trust=2

This patch adds a flag, FAN_INFO and an extensible buffer to provide
additional information about response decisions. The buffer contains
one or more headers defining the information type and the length of the
following information. The patch defines one additional information
type, FAN_RESPONSE_INFO_AUDIT_RULE, to audit a rule number. This will
allow for the creation of other information types in the future if other
users of the API identify different needs.
The kernel can be tested if it supports a given info type by supplying
the complete info extension but setting fd to FAN_NOFD. It will return
the expected size but not issue an audit record.

The user space API for the response variable is __u32. This patch makes
sure that the whole path through the kernel uses u32 so that there is
no sign extension or truncation of the user space response.
