39 * Lock ordering:
41 * dentry->d_lock (used to keep d_move() away from dentry->d_parent)
42 * iprune_mutex (synchronize shrink_icache_memory())
43 * inode_lock (protects the super_block->s_inodes list)
44 * inode->inotify_mutex (protects inode->inotify_watches and watches->i_list)
45 * inotify_handle->mutex (protects inotify_handle and watches->h_list)
47 * The inode->inotify_mutex and inotify_handle->mutex and held during execution
48 * of a caller's event handler. Thus, the caller must not hold any locks
49 * taken in their event handler while calling any of the published inotify
50 * interfaces.
54 * Lifetimes of the three main data structures--inotify_handle, inode, and
55 * inotify_watch--are managed by reference count.
57 * inotify_handle: Lifetime is from inotify_init() to inotify_destroy().
58 * Additional references can bump the count via get_inotify_handle() and drop
59 * the count via put_inotify_handle().
61 * inotify_watch: for inotify's purposes, lifetime is from inotify_add_watch()
62 * to remove_watch_no_event(). Additional references can bump the count via
63 * get_inotify_watch() and drop the count via put_inotify_watch(). The caller
64 * is reponsible for the final put after receiving IN_IGNORED, or when using
65 * IN_ONESHOT after receiving the first event. Inotify does the final put if
66 * inotify_destroy() is called.
68 * inode: Pinned so long as the inode is associated with a watch, from
69 * inotify_add_watch() to the final put_inotify_watch().
73 * struct inotify_handle - represents an inotify instance
75 * This structure is protected by the mutex 'mutex'.

507 * we don't race with umount. We can *NOT* just grab a reference to a
508 * watch - inotify_unmount_inodes() will happily sail past it and we'll end
509 * with reference to inode potentially outliving its superblock. Ideally
510 * we just want to grab an active reference to superblock if we can; that
511 * will make sure we won't go into inotify_umount_inodes() until we are
512 * done. Cleanup is just deactivate_super(). However, that leaves a messy
513 * case - what if we *are* racing with umount() and active references to
514 * superblock can't be acquired anymore? We can bump ->s_count, grab
515 * ->s_umount, which will almost certainly wait until the superblock is shut
516 * down and the watch in question is pining for fjords. That's fine, but
517 * there is a problem - we might have hit the window between ->s_active
518 * getting to 0 / ->s_count - below S_BIAS (i.e. the moment when superblock
519 * is past the point of no return and is heading for shutdown) and the
520 * moment when deactivate_super() acquires ->s_umount. We could just do
521 * drop_super() yield() and retry, but that's rather antisocial and this
522 * stuff is luser-triggerable. OTOH, having grabbed ->s_umount and having
523 * found that we'd got there first (i.e. that ->s_root is non-NULL) we know
524 * that we won't race with inotify_umount_inodes(). So we could grab a
525 * reference to watch and do the rest as above, just with drop_super() instead
526 * of deactivate_super(), right? Wrong. We had to drop ih->mutex before we
527 * could grab ->s_umount. So the watch could've been gone already.
529 * That still can be dealt with - we need to save watch->wd, do idr_find()
530 * and compare its result with our pointer. If they match, we either have
531 * the damn thing still alive or we'd lost not one but two races at once,
532 * the watch had been killed and a new one got created with the same ->wd
533 * at the same address. That couldn't have happened in inotify_destroy(),
534 * but inotify_rm_wd() could run into that. Still, "new one got created"
535 * is not a problem - we have every right to kill it or leave it alone,
536 * whatever's more convenient.
538 * So we can use idr_find(...) == watch && watch->inode->i_sb == sb as
539 * "grab it and kill it" check. If it's been our original watch, we are
540 * fine, if it's a newcomer - nevermind, just pretend that we'd won the
541 * race and kill the fscker anyway; we are safe since we know that its
542 * superblock won't be going away.
