To kick the watch out we need (in this + * order) inode->inotify_mutex and ih->mutex. That's fine if we have + * a hold on inode; however, for all other cases we need to make damn sure + * we don't race with umount. We can *NOT* just grab a reference to a + * watch - inotify_unmount_inodes() will happily sail past it and we'll end + * with reference to inode potentially outliving its superblock. Ideally + * we just want to grab an active reference to superblock if we can; that + * will make sure we won't go into inotify_umount_inodes() until we are + * done. Cleanup is just deactivate_super(). However, that leaves a messy + * case - what if we *are* racing with umount() and active references to + * superblock can't be acquired anymore? We can bump ->s_count, grab + * ->s_umount, which will almost certainly wait until the superblock is shut + * down and the watch in question is pining for fjords. That's fine, but + * there is a problem - we might have hit the window between ->s_active + * getting to 0 / ->s_count - below S_BIAS (i.e. the moment when superblock + * is past the point of no return and is heading for shutdown) and the + * moment when deactivate_super() acquires ->s_umount. We could just do + * drop_super() yield() and retry, but that's rather antisocial and this + * stuff is luser-triggerable. OTOH, having grabbed ->s_umount and having + * found that we'd got there first (i.e. that ->s_root is non-NULL) we know + * that we won't race with inotify_umount_inodes(). So we could grab a + * reference to watch and do the rest as above, just with drop_super() instead + * of deactivate_super(), right? Wrong. We had to drop ih->mutex before we + * could grab ->s_umount. So the watch could've been gone already. + * + * That still can be dealt with - we need to save watch->wd, do idr_find() + * and compare its result with our pointer. If they match, we either have + * the damn thing still alive or we'd lost not one but two races at once, + * the watch had been killed and a new one got created with the same ->wd + * at the same address. That couldn't have happened in inotify_destroy(), + * but inotify_rm_wd() could run into that. Still, "new one got created" + * is not a problem - we have every right to kill it or leave it alone, + * whatever's more convenient. + * + * So we can use idr_find(...) == watch && watch->inode->i_sb == sb as + * "grab it and kill it" check. If it's been our original watch, we are + * fine, if it's a newcomer - nevermind, just pretend that we'd won the + * race and kill the fscker anyway; we are safe since we know that its + * superblock won't be going away. + * + * And yes, this is far beyond mere "not very pretty"; so's the entire + * concept of inotify to start with. + */ + +/** + * pin_to_kill - pin the watch down for removal + * @ih: inotify handle + * @watch: watch to kill + * + * Called with ih->mutex held, drops it.
