Add #include <linux/cred.h> dependencies to all .c files rely on sched.h

073f65522a fanotify: use notification_lock instead of access_lock
Fanotify code has its own lock (access_lock) to protect a list of events
waiting for a response from userspace.

However this is somewhat awkward as the same list_head in the event is
protected by notification_lock if it is part of the notification queue
and by access_lock if it is part of the fanotify private queue which
makes it difficult for any reliable checks in the generic code.  So make
fanotify use the same lock - notification_lock - for protecting its
private event list.

1404ff3cc3 fsnotify: drop notification_mutex before destroying event
fsnotify_flush_notify() and fanotify_release() destroy notification
event while holding notification_mutex.

The destruction of fanotify event includes a path_put() call which may
end up calling into a filesystem to delete an inode if we happen to be
the last holders of dentry reference which happens to be the last holder
of inode reference.

That in turn may violate lock ordering for some filesystems since
notification_mutex is also acquired e. g. during write when generating
fanotify event.

Also this is the only thing that forces notification_mutex to be a
sleeping lock.  So drop notification_mutex before destroying a
notification event.

96d41019e3 fanotify: fix list corruption in fanotify_get_response()
fanotify_get_response() calls fsnotify_remove_event() when it finds that
group is being released from fanotify_release() (bypass_perm is set).

However the event it removes need not be only in the group's notification
queue but it can have already moved to access_list (userspace read the
event before closing the fanotify instance fd) which is protected by a
different lock.  Thus when fsnotify_remove_event() races with
fanotify_release() operating on access_list, the list can get corrupted.

Fix the problem by moving all the logic removing permission events from
the lists to one place - fanotify_release().

4712e722f9 fsnotify: get rid of fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked()
fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked() is subtle to use because it temporarily
releases group->mark_mutex.  To avoid future problems with this
function, split it into two.

fsnotify_detach_mark() is the part that needs group->mark_mutex and
fsnotify_free_mark() is the part that must be called outside of
group->mark_mutex.  This way it's much clearer what's going on and we
also avoid some pointless acquisitions of group->mark_mutex.

b3c1030d50 fanotify: fix event filtering with FAN_ONDIR set
With FAN_ONDIR set, the user can end up getting events, which it hasn't
marked.  This was revealed with fanotify04 testcase failure on
Linux-4.0-rc1, and is a regression from 3.19, revealed with 66ba93c0d7
("fanotify: don't set FAN_ONDIR implicitly on a marks ignored mask").

   # /opt/ltp/testcases/bin/fanotify04
   [ ... ]
  fanotify04    7  TPASS  :  event generated properly for type 100000
  fanotify04    8  TFAIL  :  fanotify04.c:147: got unexpected event 30
  fanotify04    9  TPASS  :  No event as expected

The testcase sets the adds the following marks : FAN_OPEN | FAN_ONDIR for
a fanotify on a dir.  Then does an open(), followed by close() of the
directory and expects to see an event FAN_OPEN(0x20).  However, the
fanotify returns (FAN_OPEN|FAN_CLOSE_NOWRITE(0x10)).  This happens due to
the flaw in the check for event_mask in fanotify_should_send_event() which
does:

	if (event_mask & marks_mask & ~marks_ignored_mask)
		return true;

where, event_mask == (FAN_ONDIR | FAN_CLOSE_NOWRITE),
       marks_mask == (FAN_ONDIR | FAN_OPEN),
       marks_ignored_mask == 0

Fix this by masking the outgoing events to the user, as we already take
care of FAN_ONDIR and FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD.

e36cb0b89c VFS: (Scripted) Convert S_ISLNK/DIR/REG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_*(dentry)
Convert the following where appropriate:

 (1) S_ISLNK(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_symlink(dentry).

 (2) S_ISREG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_reg(dentry).

 (3) S_ISDIR(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_dir(dentry).  This is actually more
     complicated than it appears as some calls should be converted to
     d_can_lookup() instead.  The difference is whether the directory in
     question is a real dir with a ->lookup op or whether it's a fake dir with
     a ->d_automount op.

In some circumstances, we can subsume checks for dentry->d_inode not being
NULL into this, provided we the code isn't in a filesystem that expects
d_inode to be NULL if the dirent really *is* negative (ie. if we're going to
use d_inode() rather than d_backing_inode() to get the inode pointer).

Note that the dentry type field may be set to something other than
DCACHE_MISS_TYPE when d_inode is NULL in the case of unionmount, where the VFS
manages the fall-through from a negative dentry to a lower layer.  In such a
case, the dentry type of the negative union dentry is set to the same as the
type of the lower dentry.

However, if you know d_inode is not NULL at the call site, then you can use
the d_is_xxx() functions even in a filesystem.

There is one further complication: a 0,0 chardev dentry may be labelled
DCACHE_WHITEOUT_TYPE rather than DCACHE_SPECIAL_TYPE.  Strictly, this was
intended for special directory entry types that don't have attached inodes.

The following perl+coccinelle script was used:

use strict;

my @callers;
open($fd, 'git grep -l \'S_IS[A-Z].*->d_inode\' |') ||
    die "Can't grep for S_ISDIR and co. callers";
@callers = <$fd>;
close($fd);
unless (@callers) {
    print "No matches\n";
    exit(0);
}

my @cocci = (
    '@@',
    'expression E;',
    '@@',
    '',
    '- S_ISLNK(E->d_inode->i_mode)',
    '+ d_is_symlink(E)',

    '@@',
    '',
    '- S_ISREG(E->d_inode->i_mode)',
    '+ d_is_reg(E)' );

my $coccifile = "tmp.sp.cocci";
open($fd, ">$coccifile") || die $coccifile;
print($fd "$_\n") || die $coccifile foreach (@cocci);
close($fd);

foreach my $file (@callers) {
    chomp $file;
    print "Processing ", $file, "\n";
    system("spatch", "--sp-file", $coccifile, $file, "--in-place", "--no-show-diff") == 0 ||

66ba93c0d7 fanotify: don't set FAN_ONDIR implicitly on a marks ignored mask
Currently FAN_ONDIR is always set on a mark's ignored mask when the
event mask is extended without FAN_MARK_ONDIR being set.  This may
result in events for directories being ignored unexpectedly for call
sequences like

  fanotify_mark(fd, FAN_MARK_ADD, FAN_OPEN | FAN_ONDIR , AT_FDCWD, "dir");
  fanotify_mark(fd, FAN_MARK_ADD, FAN_CLOSE, AT_FDCWD, "dir");

Also FAN_MARK_ONDIR is only honored when adding events to a mark's mask,
but not for event removal.  Fix both issues by not setting FAN_ONDIR
implicitly on the ignore mask any more.  Instead treat FAN_ONDIR as any
other event flag and require FAN_MARK_ONDIR to be set by the user for
both event mask and ignore mask.  Furthermore take FAN_MARK_ONDIR into
account when set for event removal.

536ebe9ca9 sched, fanotify: Deal with nested sleeps
As per e23738a730 ("sched, inotify: Deal with nested sleeps").

fanotify_read is a wait loop with sleeps in. Wait loops rely on
task_struct::state and sleeps do too, since that's the only means of
actually sleeping. Therefore the nested sleeps destroy the wait loop
state and the wait loop breaks the sleep functions that assume
TASK_RUNNING (mutex_lock).

Fix this by using the new woken_wake_function and wait_woken() stuff,
which registers wakeups in wait and thereby allows shrinking the
task_state::state changes to the actual sleep part.

0b37e097a6 fanotify: enable close-on-exec on events' fd when requested in fanotify_init()
According to commit 80af258867 ("fanotify: groups can specify their
f_flags for new fd"), file descriptors created as part of file access
notification events inherit flags from the event_f_flags argument passed
to syscall fanotify_init(2)[1].

Unfortunately O_CLOEXEC is currently silently ignored.

Indeed, event_f_flags are only given to dentry_open(), which only seems to
care about O_ACCMODE and O_PATH in do_dentry_open(), O_DIRECT in
open_check_o_direct() and O_LARGEFILE in generic_file_open().

It's a pity, since, according to some lookup on various search engines and
http://codesearch.debian.net/, there's already some userspace code which
use O_CLOEXEC:

- in systemd's readahead[2]:

    fanotify_fd = fanotify_init(FAN_CLOEXEC|FAN_NONBLOCK, O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE|O_CLOEXEC|O_NOATIME);

- in clsync[3]:

    #define FANOTIFY_EVFLAGS (O_LARGEFILE|O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC)

    int fanotify_d = fanotify_init(FANOTIFY_FLAGS, FANOTIFY_EVFLAGS);

- in examples [4] from "Filesystem monitoring in the Linux
  kernel" article[5] by Aleksander Morgado:

    if ((fanotify_fd = fanotify_init (FAN_CLOEXEC,
                                      O_RDONLY | O_CLOEXEC | O_LARGEFILE)) < 0)

Additionally, since commit 48149e9d3a ("fanotify: check file flags
passed in fanotify_init").  having O_CLOEXEC as part of fanotify_init()
second argument is expressly allowed.

So it seems expected to set close-on-exec flag on the file descriptors if
userspace is allowed to request it with O_CLOEXEC.

But Andrew Morton raised[6] the concern that enabling now close-on-exec
might break existing applications which ask for O_CLOEXEC but expect the
file descriptor to be inherited across exec().

In the other hand, as reported by Mihai Dontu[7] close-on-exec on the file
descriptor returned as part of file access notify can break applications
due to deadlock.  So close-on-exec is needed for most applications.

More, applications asking for close-on-exec are likely expecting it to be
enabled, relying on O_CLOEXEC being effective.  If not, it might weaken
their security, as noted by Jan Kara[8].

So this patch replaces call to macro get_unused_fd() by a call to function
get_unused_fd_flags() with event_f_flags value as argument.  This way
O_CLOEXEC flag in the second argument of fanotify_init(2) syscall is
interpreted and close-on-exec get enabled when requested.

5838d4442b fanotify: fix double free of pending permission events
Commit 8581679424 ("fanotify: Fix use after free for permission
events") introduced a double free issue for permission events which are
pending in group's notification queue while group is being destroyed.
These events are freed from fanotify_handle_event() but they are not
removed from groups notification queue and thus they get freed again
from fsnotify_flush_notify().

Fix the problem by removing permission events from notification queue
before freeing them if we skip processing access response.  Also expand
comments in fanotify_release() to explain group shutdown in detail.

48149e9d3a fanotify: check file flags passed in fanotify_init
Without this patch fanotify_init does not validate the value passed in
event_f_flags.

When a fanotify event is read from the fanotify file descriptor a new
file descriptor is created where file.f_flags = event_f_flags.

Internal and external open flags are stored together in field f_flags of
struct file.  Hence, an application might create file descriptors with
internal flags like FMODE_EXEC, FMODE_NOCMTIME set.

Jan Kara and Eric Paris both aggreed that this is a bug and the value of
event_f_flags should be checked:
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/29/522
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/29/539

This updated patch version considers the comments by Michael Kerrisk in
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/4/10

With the patch the value of event_f_flags is checked.
When specifying an invalid value error EINVAL is returned.

Internal flags are disallowed.

File creation flags are disallowed:
O_CREAT, O_DIRECTORY, O_EXCL, O_NOCTTY, O_NOFOLLOW, O_TRUNC, and O_TTY_INIT.

Flags which do not make sense with fanotify are disallowed:
__O_TMPFILE, O_PATH, FASYNC, and O_DIRECT.

This leaves us with the following allowed values:

O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY, O_RDWR are basic functionality. The are stored in the
bits given by O_ACCMODE.

O_APPEND is working as expected. The value might be useful in a logging
application which appends the current status each time the log is opened.

O_LARGEFILE is needed for files exceeding 4GB on 32bit systems.

O_NONBLOCK may be useful when monitoring slow devices like tapes.

O_NDELAY is equal to O_NONBLOCK except for platform parisc.
To avoid code breaking on parisc either both flags should be
allowed or none. The patch allows both.

__O_SYNC and O_DSYNC may be used to avoid data loss on power disruption.

O_NOATIME may be useful to reduce disk activity.

O_CLOEXEC may be useful, if separate processes shall be used to scan files.

Once this patch is accepted, the fanotify_init.2 manpage has to be updated.

cc299a98eb fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify_user.c: fix FAN_MARK_FLUSH flag checking
If fanotify_mark is called with illegal value of arguments flags and
marks it usually returns EINVAL.

When fanotify_mark is called with FAN_MARK_FLUSH the argument flags is
not checked for irrelevant flags like FAN_MARK_IGNORED_MASK.

The patch removes this inconsistency.

If an irrelevant flag is set error EINVAL is returned.

0a8dd2db57 fanotify: FAN_MARK_FLUSH: avoid having to provide a fake/invalid fd and path
Originally from Tvrtko Ursulin (https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/12/112)

Avoid having to provide a fake/invalid fd and path when flushing marks

Currently for a group to flush marks it has set it needs to provide a
fake or invalid (but resolvable) file descriptor and path when calling
fanotify_mark.  This patch pulls the flush handling a bit up so file
descriptor and path are completely ignored when flushing.

I reworked the patch to be applicable again (the signature of
fanotify_mark has changed since Tvrtko's work).

1e2ee49f7f fanotify: fix -EOVERFLOW with large files on 64-bit
On 64-bit systems, O_LARGEFILE is automatically added to flags inside
the open() syscall (also openat(), blkdev_open(), etc).  Userspace
therefore defines O_LARGEFILE to be 0 - you can use it, but it's a
no-op.  Everything should be O_LARGEFILE by default.

But: when fanotify does create_fd() it uses dentry_open(), which skips
all that.  And userspace can't set O_LARGEFILE in fanotify_init()
because it's defined to 0.  So if fanotify gets an event regarding a
large file, the read() will just fail with -EOVERFLOW.

This patch adds O_LARGEFILE to fanotify_init()'s event_f_flags on 64-bit
systems, using the same test as open()/openat()/etc.

d507816b58 fanotify: move unrelated handling from copy_event_to_user()
Move code moving event structure to access_list from copy_event_to_user()
to fanotify_read() where it is more logical (so that we can immediately
see in the main loop that we either move the event to a different list
or free it).  Also move special error handling for permission events
from copy_event_to_user() to the main loop to have it in one place with
error handling for normal events.  This makes copy_event_to_user()
really only copy the event to user without any side effects.

f083441ba8 fanotify: use fanotify event structure for permission response processing
Currently, fanotify creates new structure to track the fact that
permission event has been reported to userspace and someone is waiting
for a response to it.  As event structures are now completely in the
hands of each notification framework, we can use the event structure for
this tracking instead of allocating a new structure.

Since this makes the event structures for normal events and permission
events even more different and the structures have different lifetime
rules, we split them into two separate structures (where permission
event structure contains the structure for a normal event).  This makes
normal events 8 bytes smaller and the code a tad bit cleaner.

The prepare_for_access_response() function checks whether
group->fanotify_data.bypass_perm is set.  However this test can never be
true because prepare_for_access_response() is called only from
fanotify_read() which means fanotify group is alive with an active fd
while bypass_perm is set from fanotify_release() when all file
descriptors pointing to the group are closed and the group is going
away.

Commit 7053aee26a "fsnotify: do not share events between notification
groups" used overflow event statically allocated in a group with the
size of the generic notification event. This causes problems because
some code looks at type specific parts of event structure and gets
confused by a random data it sees there and causes crashes.

Fix the problem by allocating overflow event with type corresponding to
the group type so code cannot get confused.

45a22f4c11 inotify: Fix reporting of cookies for inotify events
My rework of handling of notification events (namely commit 7053aee26a
"fsnotify: do not share events between notification groups") broke
sending of cookies with inotify events. We didn't propagate the value
passed to fsnotify() properly and passed 4 uninitialized bytes to
userspace instead (so it is also an information leak). Sadly I didn't
notice this during my testing because inotify cookies aren't used very
much and LTP inotify tests ignore them.

Fix the problem by passing the cookie value properly.

that we know the permission event which we just created is the one on

7053aee26a fsnotify: do not share events between notification groups
Currently fsnotify framework creates one event structure for each
notification event and links this event into all interested notification
groups.  This is done so that we save memory when several notification
groups are interested in the event.  However the need for event
structure shared between inotify & fanotify bloats the event structure
so the result is often higher memory consumption.

Another problem is that fsnotify framework keeps path references with
outstanding events so that fanotify can return open file descriptors
with its events.  This has the undesirable effect that filesystem cannot
be unmounted while there are outstanding events - a regression for
inotify compared to a situation before it was converted to fsnotify
framework.  For fanotify this problem is hard to avoid and users of
fanotify should kind of expect this behavior when they ask for file
descriptors from notified files.

This patch changes fsnotify and its users to create separate event
structure for each group.  This allows for much simpler code (~400 lines
removed by this patch) and also smaller event structures.  For example
on 64-bit system original struct fsnotify_event consumes 120 bytes, plus
additional space for file name, additional 24 bytes for second and each
subsequent group linking the event, and additional 32 bytes for each
inotify group for private data.  After the conversion inotify event
consumes 48 bytes plus space for file name which is considerably less
memory unless file names are long and there are several groups
interested in the events (both of which are uncommon).  Fanotify event
fits in 56 bytes after the conversion (fanotify doesn't care about file
names so its events don't have to have it allocated).  A win unless
there are four or more fanotify groups interested in the event.

The conversion also solves the problem with unmount when only inotify is
used as we don't have to grab path references for inotify events.

7b18527c4a fanotify: fix races when adding/removing marks
For both adding an event to an existing mark and destroying a mark we
first have to find it via fsnotify_find_[inode|vfsmount]_mark().  But
getting the mark and adding an event (or destroying it) is not done
atomically.  This opens a race where a thread is about to destroy a mark
while another thread still finds the same mark and adds an event to its
mask although it will be destroyed.

Another race exists concerning the excess of a groups number of marks
limit: When a mark is added the number of group marks is checked against
the max number of marks per group and increased afterwards.  Since check
and increment is also not done atomically, this may result in 2 or more
processes passing the check at the same time and increasing the number
of group marks above the allowed limit.

With this patch both races are avoided by doing the concerning
operations with the groups mark mutex locked.

03a1cec1f1 fanotify: dont merge permission events
Boyd Yang reported a problem for the case that multiple threads of the same
thread group are waiting for a reponse for a permission event.
In this case it is possible that some of the threads are never woken up, even
if the response for the event has been received
(see http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=131822913806350&w=2).

The reason is that we are currently merging permission events if they belong to
the same thread group. But we are not prepared to wake up more than one waiter
for each event. We do

wait_event(group->fanotify_data.access_waitq, event->response ||
			atomic_read(&group->fanotify_data.bypass_perm));
and after that
  event->response = 0;

which is the reason that even if we woke up all waiters for the same event
some of them may see event->response being already set 0 again, then go back to
sleep and block forever.

With this patch we avoid that more than one thread is waiting for a response
by not merging permission events for the same thread group any more.
