Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.infradead.org/users/eparis/notify

* 'for-linus' of git://git.infradead.org/users/eparis/notify: (132 commits)
  fanotify: use both marks when possible
  fsnotify: pass both the vfsmount mark and inode mark
  fsnotify: walk the inode and vfsmount lists simultaneously
  fsnotify: rework ignored mark flushing
  fsnotify: remove global fsnotify groups lists
  fsnotify: remove group->mask
  fsnotify: remove the global masks
  fsnotify: cleanup should_send_event
  fanotify: use the mark in handler functions
  audit: use the mark in handler functions
  dnotify: use the mark in handler functions
  inotify: use the mark in handler functions
  fsnotify: send fsnotify_mark to groups in event handling functions
  fsnotify: Exchange list heads instead of moving elements
  fsnotify: srcu to protect read side of inode and vfsmount locks
  fsnotify: use an explicit flag to indicate fsnotify_destroy_mark has been called
  fsnotify: use _rcu functions for mark list traversal
  fsnotify: place marks on object in order of group memory address
  vfs/fsnotify: fsnotify_close can delay the final work in fput
  fsnotify: store struct file not struct path
  ...

-/*
- * fsnotify inode mark locking/lifetime/and refcnting
- *
- * REFCNT:
- * The mark->refcnt tells how many "things" in the kernel currently are
- * referencing this object.  The object typically will live inside the kernel
- * with a refcnt of 2, one for each list it is on (i_list, g_list).  Any task
- * which can find this object holding the appropriete locks, can take a reference
- * and the object itself is guarenteed to survive until the reference is dropped.
- *
- * LOCKING:
- * There are 3 spinlocks involved with fsnotify inode marks and they MUST
- * be taken in order as follows:
- *
- * entry->lock
- * group->mark_lock
- * inode->i_lock
- *
- * entry->lock protects 2 things, entry->group and entry->inode.  You must hold
- * that lock to dereference either of these things (they could be NULL even with
- * the lock)
- *
- * group->mark_lock protects the mark_entries list anchored inside a given group
- * and each entry is hooked via the g_list.  It also sorta protects the
- * free_g_list, which when used is anchored by a private list on the stack of the
- * task which held the group->mark_lock.
- *
- * inode->i_lock protects the i_fsnotify_mark_entries list anchored inside a
- * given inode and each entry is hooked via the i_list. (and sorta the
- * free_i_list)
- *
- *
- * LIFETIME:
- * Inode marks survive between when they are added to an inode and when their
- * refcnt==0.
- *
- * The inode mark can be cleared for a number of different reasons including:
- * - The inode is unlinked for the last time.  (fsnotify_inode_remove)
- * - The inode is being evicted from cache. (fsnotify_inode_delete)
- * - The fs the inode is on is unmounted.  (fsnotify_inode_delete/fsnotify_unmount_inodes)
- * - Something explicitly requests that it be removed.  (fsnotify_destroy_mark_by_entry)
- * - The fsnotify_group associated with the mark is going away and all such marks
- *   need to be cleaned up. (fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group)
- *
- * Worst case we are given an inode and need to clean up all the marks on that
- * inode.  We take i_lock and walk the i_fsnotify_mark_entries safely.  For each
- * mark on the list we take a reference (so the mark can't disappear under us).
- * We remove that mark form the inode's list of marks and we add this mark to a
- * private list anchored on the stack using i_free_list;  At this point we no
- * longer fear anything finding the mark using the inode's list of marks.
- *
- * We can safely and locklessly run the private list on the stack of everything
- * we just unattached from the original inode.  For each mark on the private list
- * we grab the mark-> and can thus dereference mark->group and mark->inode.  If
- * we see the group and inode are not NULL we take those locks.  Now holding all
- * 3 locks we can completely remove the mark from other tasks finding it in the
- * future.  Remember, 10 things might already be referencing this mark, but they
- * better be holding a ref.  We drop our reference we took before we unhooked it
- * from the inode.  When the ref hits 0 we can free the mark.
- *
- * Very similarly for freeing by group, except we use free_g_list.
- *
- * This has the very interesting property of being able to run concurrently with
- * any (or all) other directions.

+/*
+ * fsnotify inode mark locking/lifetime/and refcnting
+ *
+ * REFCNT:
+ * The mark->refcnt tells how many "things" in the kernel currently are
+ * referencing this object.  The object typically will live inside the kernel
+ * with a refcnt of 2, one for each list it is on (i_list, g_list).  Any task
+ * which can find this object holding the appropriete locks, can take a reference
+ * and the object itself is guarenteed to survive until the reference is dropped.
+ *
+ * LOCKING:
+ * There are 3 spinlocks involved with fsnotify inode marks and they MUST
+ * be taken in order as follows:
+ *
+ * mark->lock
+ * group->mark_lock
+ * inode->i_lock
+ *
+ * mark->lock protects 2 things, mark->group and mark->inode.  You must hold
+ * that lock to dereference either of these things (they could be NULL even with
+ * the lock)
+ *
+ * group->mark_lock protects the marks_list anchored inside a given group
+ * and each mark is hooked via the g_list.  It also sorta protects the
+ * free_g_list, which when used is anchored by a private list on the stack of the
+ * task which held the group->mark_lock.
+ *
+ * inode->i_lock protects the i_fsnotify_marks list anchored inside a
+ * given inode and each mark is hooked via the i_list. (and sorta the
+ * free_i_list)
+ *
+ *
+ * LIFETIME:
+ * Inode marks survive between when they are added to an inode and when their
+ * refcnt==0.
+ *
+ * The inode mark can be cleared for a number of different reasons including:
+ * - The inode is unlinked for the last time.  (fsnotify_inode_remove)
+ * - The inode is being evicted from cache. (fsnotify_inode_delete)
+ * - The fs the inode is on is unmounted.  (fsnotify_inode_delete/fsnotify_unmount_inodes)
+ * - Something explicitly requests that it be removed.  (fsnotify_destroy_mark)
+ * - The fsnotify_group associated with the mark is going away and all such marks
+ *   need to be cleaned up. (fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group)
+ *
+ * Worst case we are given an inode and need to clean up all the marks on that
+ * inode.  We take i_lock and walk the i_fsnotify_marks safely.  For each
+ * mark on the list we take a reference (so the mark can't disappear under us).
+ * We remove that mark form the inode's list of marks and we add this mark to a
+ * private list anchored on the stack using i_free_list;  At this point we no
+ * longer fear anything finding the mark using the inode's list of marks.
+ *
+ * We can safely and locklessly run the private list on the stack of everything
+ * we just unattached from the original inode.  For each mark on the private list
+ * we grab the mark-> and can thus dereference mark->group and mark->inode.  If
+ * we see the group and inode are not NULL we take those locks.  Now holding all
+ * 3 locks we can completely remove the mark from other tasks finding it in the
+ * future.  Remember, 10 things might already be referencing this mark, but they
+ * better be holding a ref.  We drop our reference we took before we unhooked it
+ * from the inode.  When the ref hits 0 we can free the mark.
+ *
+ * Very similarly for freeing by group, except we use free_g_list.
+ *
+ * This has the very interesting property of being able to run concurrently with
+ * any (or all) other directions.
