fanotify will clear ignore marks if a task changes the contents of an
inode. The problem is with the races around when userspace finishes
checking a file and when that result is actually attached to the inode.
This race was described as such:
Consider the following scenario with hostile processes A and B, and
victim process C:
1. Process A opens new file for writing. File check request is generated.
2. File check is performed in userspace. Check result is "file has no malware".
3. The "permit" response is delivered to kernel space.
4. File ignored mark set.
5. Process A writes dummy bytes to the file. File ignored flags are cleared.
6. Process B opens the same file for reading. File check request is generated.
7. File check is performed in userspace. Check result is "file has no malware".
8. Process A writes malware bytes to the file. There is no cached response yet.
9. The "permit" response is delivered to kernel space and is cached in fanotify.
10. File ignored mark set.
11. Now any process C will be permitted to open the malware file.
There is a race between steps 8 and 10
While fanotify makes no strong guarantees about systems with hostile
processes there is no reason we cannot harden against this race. We do
that by simply ignoring any ignore marks if the inode has open writers (aka
i_writecount > 0). (We actually do not ignore ignore marks if the
FAN_MARK_SURV_MODIFY flag is set)

fsnotify perm events do not call fsnotify parent. That means you cannot
register a perm event on a directory and enforce permissions on all inodes in
that directory. This patch fixes that situation.

When fsnotify groups return errors they are ignored. For permissions
events these should be passed back up the stack, but for most events these
should continue to be ignored.

The fanotify listeners needs to be able to specify what types of operations
they are going to perform so they can be ordered appropriately between other
listeners doing other types of operations. They need this to be able to make
sure that things like hierarchichal storage managers will get access to inodes
before processes which need the data. This patch defines 3 possible uses
which groups must indicate in the fanotify_init() flags.
FAN_CLASS_PRE_CONTENT
FAN_CLASS_CONTENT
FAN_CLASS_NOTIF
Groups will receive notification in that order. The order between 2 groups in
the same class is undeterministic.
FAN_CLASS_PRE_CONTENT is intended to be used by listeners which need access to
the inode before they are certain that the inode contains it's final data. A
hierarchical storage manager should choose to use this class.
FAN_CLASS_CONTENT is intended to be used by listeners which need access to the
inode after it contains its intended contents. This would be the appropriate
level for an AV solution or document control system.
FAN_CLASS_NOTIF is intended for normal async notification about access, much the
same as inotify and dnotify. Syncronous permissions events are not permitted
at this class.

fanotify needs to be able to specify that some groups get events before
others. They use this idea to make sure that a hierarchical storage
manager gets access to files before programs which actually use them. This
is purely infrastructure. Everything will have a priority of 0, but the
infrastructure will exist for it to be non-zero.

DESCRIPTION
The Tfsync transaction transfers ("flushes") all modified in-core data of
file identified by fid to the disk device (or other permanent storage
device) where that file resides.
If datasync flag is specified data will be fleshed but does not flush
modified metadata unless that metadata is needed in order to allow a
subsequent data retrieval to be correctly handled.

The presence of v9fs_direct_IO() in the address space ops vector
allowes open() O_DIRECT flags which would have failed otherwise.
In the non-cached mode, we shunt off direct read and write requests before
the VFS gets them, so this method should never be called.
Direct IO is not 'yet' supported in the cached mode. Hence when
this routine is called through generic_file_aio_read(), the read/write fails
with an error.

Current 9p client file write code does not check for RLIMIT_FSIZE resource.
This bug was found by running LTP test case for setrlimit. This bug is fixed
by calling generic_write_checks before sending the write request to the
server.
Without this patch: the write function is allowed to write above the
RLIMIT_FSIZE set by user.
With this patch: the write function checks for RLIMIT_SIZE and writes upto
the size limit.

Surprisingly chown() on ext4 is not SMP scalable operation.
Due to unconditional orphan_del(NULL, inode) in ext4_setattr()
result in significant performance overhead because of global orphan
mutex, especially in no-journal mode (where orphan_add() is noop).
It is possible to skip explicit orphan_del if possible.

Commit 84061e0 fixed an accounting bug only to introduce the
possibility of a kernel OOPS if the journal has a non-zero j_errno
field indicating that the file system had detected a fs inconsistency.
After the journal replay, if the journal superblock indicates that the
file system has an error, this indication is transfered to the file
system and then ext4_commit_super() is called to write this to the
disk.
But since the percpu counters are now initialized after the journal
replay, the call to ext4_commit_super() will cause a kernel oops since
it needs to use the percpu counters the ext4 superblock structure.
The fix is to skip setting the ext4 free block and free inode fields
if the percpu counter has not been set.
Thanks to Ken Sumrall for reporting and analyzing the root causes of
this bug.

As pointed out in a prior patch, updating the mapping's
writeback_index based on pages written isn't quite right;
what the writeback index is really supposed to reflect is
the next page which should be scanned for writeback during
periodic flush.
As in write_cache_pages(), write_cache_pages_da() does
this scanning for us as we assemble the mpd for later
writeout. If we keep track of the next page after the
current scan, we can easily update writeback_index without
worrying about pages written vs. pages skipped, etc.
Without this, an fsync will reset writeback_index to
0 (its starting index) + however many pages it wrote, which
can mess up the progress of periodic flush.

This is analogous to Jan Kara's commit,
f446daaea9d4a420d16c606f755f3689dcb2d0ce
mm: implement writeback livelock avoidance using page tagging
but since we forked write_cache_pages, we need to reimplement
it there (and in ext4_da_writepages, since range_cyclic handling
was moved to there)
If you start a large buffered IO to a file, and then set
fsync after it, you'll find that fsync does not complete
until the other IO stops.
If you continue re-dirtying the file (say, putting dd
with conv=notrunc in a loop), when fsync finally completes
(after all IO is done), it reports via tracing that
it has written many more pages than the file contains;
in other words it has synced and re-synced pages in
the file multiple times.
This then leads to problems with our writeback_index
update, since it advances it by pages written, and
essentially sets writeback_index off the end of the
file...
With the following patch, we only sync as much as was
dirty at the time of the sync.

This doesn't fix anything at all, it just removes a vestige
of prior use from __mpage_da_writepage()
__mpage_da_writepage() had a *void argument leftover from
its previous life as a callback; make it reflect the actual type.
Fixing this up makes it slightly more obvious to read, and
enables proper typechecking.
