fsnotify: add a way to stop queueing events on group shutdown
Implement a function that can be called when a group is being shutdown to stop queueing new events to the group. Fanotify will use this. Fixes: 5838d4442bd5 ("fanotify: fix double free of pending permission events") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1473797711-14111-2-git-send-email-jack@suse.cz Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Reviewed-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
