[PATCH git] inotify fixes
by Amy Griffis
This patch includes several fixes and some new features for the inotify kernel
API.
Fixes:
- always call event handler for IN_IGNORED last, in case caller
frees watch memory
- don't leak memory with IN_ONESHOT events
- don't leak memory in inotify_destroy()
- fix memory management: make {get,put}_inotify_watch public
- have caller register a destroy_watch op to free watch memory on last
put_inotify_watch
Features:
- make inotify_remove_watch_locked() public for use in event callback
- add inotify_init_watch() so caller can grab a reference before calling
inotify_add_watch(), after which the watch is subject to auto-removal
- in inotify_find_watch(), grab a ref for caller if watch is found
Other:
- update inotify documentation

-(iii) Internal Kernel Implementation
+(iii) Kernel Interface
-Each inotify instance is associated with an inotify_device structure.
+Inotify's kernel API consists a set of functions for managing watches and an
+event callback.
+
+To use the kernel API, you must first initialize an inotify instance with a set
+of inotify_operations. You are given an opaque inotify_handle, which you use
+for any further calls to inotify.
+
+ struct inotify_handle *ih = inotify_init(my_event_handler);
+
+You must provide a function for processing events and a function for destroying
+the inotify watch.
+
+ void handle_event(struct inotify_watch *watch, u32 wd, u32 mask,
+ u32 cookie, const char *name, struct inode *inode)
+
+ watch - the pointer to the inotify_watch that triggered this call
+ wd - the watch descriptor
+ mask - describes the event that occurred
+ cookie - an identifier for synchronizing events
+ name - the dentry name for affected files in a directory-based event
+ inode - the affected inode in a directory-based event
+
+ void destroy_watch(struct inotify_watch *watch)
+
+You may add watches by providing a pre-allocated and initialized inotify_watch
+structure and specifying the inode to watch along with an inotify event mask.
+You must pin the inode during the call. You will likely wish to embed the
+inotify_watch structure in a structure of your own which contains other
+information about the watch. Once you add an inotify watch, it is immediately
+subject to removal depending on filesystem events. You must grab a reference if
+you depend on the watch hanging around after the call.
+
+ inotify_init_watch(&my_watch->iwatch);
+ inotify_get_watch(&my_watch->iwatch); // optional
+ s32 wd = inotify_add_watch(ih, &my_watch->iwatch, inode, mask);
+ inotify_put_watch(&my_watch->iwatch); // optional
+
+You may use the watch descriptor (wd) or the address of the inotify_watch for
+other inotify operations. You must not directly read or manipulate data in the
+inotify_watch. Additionally, you must not call inotify_add_watch() more than
+once for a given inotify_watch structure, unless you have first called either
+inotify_rm_watch() or inotify_rm_wd().
+
+To determine if you have already registered a watch for a given inode, you may
+call inotify_find_watch(), which gives you both the wd and the watch pointer for
+the inotify_watch, or an error if the watch does not exist.
+
+ wd = inotify_find_watch(ih, inode, &watchp);
+
+You may use container_of() on the watch pointer to access your own data
+associated with a given watch. When an existing watch is found,
+inotify_find_watch() bumps the refcount before releasing its locks. You must
+put that reference with:
+
+ put_inotify_watch(watchp);
+
+Call inotify_find_update_watch() to update the event mask for an existing watch.
+inotify_find_update_watch() returns the wd of the updated watch, or an error if
+the watch does not exist.
+
+ wd = inotify_find_update_watch(ih, inode, mask);
+
+An existing watch may be removed by calling either inotify_rm_watch() or
+inotify_rm_wd().
+
+ int ret = inotify_rm_watch(ih, &my_watch->iwatch);
+ int ret = inotify_rm_wd(ih, wd);
+
+A watch may be removed while executing your event handler with the following:
+
+ inotify_remove_watch_locked(ih, iwatch);
+
+Call inotify_destroy() to remove all watches from your inotify instance and
+release it. If there are no outstanding references, inotify_destroy() will call
+your destroy_watch op for each watch.
+
+ inotify_destroy(ih);
+
+When inotify removes a watch, it sends an IN_IGNORED event to your callback.
+You may use this event as an indication to free the watch memory. Note that
+inotify may remove a watch due to filesystem events, as well as by your request.
+If you use IN_ONESHOT, inotify will remove the watch after the first event, at
+which point you may call the final inotify_put_watch.

+(v) Internal Kernel Implementation
+
+Each inotify instance is represented by an inotify_handle structure.
+Inotify's userspace consumers also have an inotify_device which is
+associated with the inotify_handle, and on which events are queued.
Each watch is associated with an inotify_watch structure. Watches are chained
-off of each associated device and each associated inode.
+off of each associated inotify_handle and each associated inode.
-See fs/inotify.c for the locking and lifetime rules.
+See fs/inotify.c and fs/inotify_user.c for the locking and lifetime rules.

Q: What is the design decision behind not tying the watch to the open fd of
the watched object?
@@ -145,7 +263,7 @@ A: The poor user-space interface is the
file descriptor-based one that allows basic file I/O and poll/select.
Obtaining the fd and managing the watches could have been done either via a
device file or a family of new system calls. We decided to implement a
- family of system calls because that is the preffered approach for new kernel
+ family of system calls because that is the preferred approach for new kernel
interfaces. The only real difference was whether we wanted to use open(2)
and ioctl(2) or a couple of new system calls. System calls beat ioctls.

auditing lots of files
by Evren Kalayciklioglu
Hi,
I am trying to watch several directories and in it all
of files. I can see when a new file is created or
deleted in the directory and when i change a file with
vi -for example writing new lines- i can see it also
in the audit.log. But when i open a file with
staroffice or openoffice and i click save, i can't see
any log in audit.log. If i add directly file name, it
works. We have approximately five hundred thousand
files these will be wathced. Sometimes this number
increase sometimes decrease.
Do i have to add all of file paths? How can i control
audit.rules? If i have to do that, what will be the
system usage?

git tree updates
by Alexander Viro
* new branches: audit.b15, master.b15, lspp.b15; tree pushed to git.kernel.org
* changes:
moved everything except Amy's patches to master.b15
added: belated removal of audit_panic() stub from include/linux/audit.h
fixes present in lspp.b14 folded into corresponding patches
fixed and folded:
+ reordering breakage spotted by akpm (audit_cmd_mutex used
before renaming audit_netlink_mutex -> audit_cmd_mutex).
+ Linda's IPC patch forgot to update stub of
audit_ipc_set_perm()
Amy's patches are in lspp.b15, ported to current mainline tree (the
first one needed some work on conflict resolution).
master.b15 is -mm fodder; it does obsolete git-audit-master-build-fix.patch
and audit-build-fix.patch currently in -mm.
Steve, patches for lspp kernel had been updated, pick them in usual place.

[PATCH 3/4] fix audit_to_inode()
by Alexander Viro
audit_to_inode() used to break if we got a rule with 3 AUDIT_INODE fields;
the second one would flip ->inode_f to NULL and the third one would be
happily accepted (and set ->inode_f). Moreover, protection in AUDIT_WATCH
was broken by the same thing (AUDIT_INODE + AUDIT_INODE + AUDIT_WATCH).
* prohibit multiple AUDIT_INODE fields.
* postpone decision about resetting ->inode_f to the end of loop over fields.
* allow only == and != as operations.

Double addition of rule yields two log messages
by Michael C Thompson
Hey all,
Adding a rule successfully (i.e. not malformed and that rule didn't
already exist) creates a log entry:
type=CONFIG_CHANGE msg=audit(1147986115.721:28510): auid=0
subj=root:staff_r:staff_t:s0-s15:c0.c255 add rule to list=2 res=0
Then, adding the same rule again will resulting in an error message
being reported to the user saying that rule exists (although it uses the
work "File exists", which if that could be changed to "Rule exists",
might be nice). However, despite this apparent failure, we get a log entry:
type=CONFIG_CHANGE msg=audit(1147986117.389:28511): auid=0
subj=root:staff_r:staff_t:s0-s15:c0.c255 add rule to list=2 res=0
Most FYI, not sure if this is a problem or not.

[PATCH] auditctl -l listing with correct operators
by Michael C Thompson
With the current version of audit, auditctl -l only prints an equal, not
equal operator when it displays rules, while the rules in the kernel are
operating correctly, this is most an inconvenience, since is not
possible to tell what rules are really in the kernel.
The problem lies in the audit_print_reply logic not detecting the type
of the message (either AUDIT_LIST or AUDIT_LIST_RULE).
Below is a patch which adds this detection.
Thanks,
Mike

auditctl usage for filter lists: "user" , "watch" and "exclude"
by Michael C Thompson
Hey all,
I'm trying to understand better the user, watch and exclude auditctl
filter lists. I believe I have a reasonable understanding of exclude
from some examples Steve gave (see below), but I have very little idea
of how user is meant to be used, and none about watch.
Any enlightenment will be helpful.
For the exclude list,
exclude,always -F msgtype=SYSCALL
seems to be the only valid structure, where msgtype can be any value
(XXX) for the type in the audit.log? (where the 1st field in the audit
log is type=XXX)
Are there more filters that apply? (and does it have any meaning without
a filter?)
Any examples and/or explanations on "user" and "watch" would be appriciated.
Thanks,
Mike
