20 * fsnotify inode mark locking/lifetime/and refcnting
23 * The group->recnt and mark->refcnt tell how many "things" in the kernel
24 * currently are referencing the objects. Both kind of objects typically will
25 * live inside the kernel with a refcnt of 2, one for its creation and one for
26 * the reference a group and a mark hold to each other.
27 * If you are holding the appropriate locks, you can take a reference and the
28 * object itself is guaranteed to survive until the reference is dropped.
31 * There are 3 locks involved with fsnotify inode marks and they MUST be taken
32 * in order as follows:
38 * group->mark_mutex protects the marks_list anchored inside a given group and
39 * each mark is hooked via the g_list. It also protects the groups private
40 * data (i.e group limits).
42 * mark->lock protects the marks attributes like its masks and flags.
43 * Furthermore it protects the access to a reference of the group that the mark
44 * is assigned to as well as the access to a reference of the inode/vfsmount
45 * that is being watched by the mark.
47 * inode->i_lock protects the i_fsnotify_marks list anchored inside a
48 * given inode and each mark is hooked via the i_list. (and sorta the
53 * Inode marks survive between when they are added to an inode and when their
56 * The inode mark can be cleared for a number of different reasons including:
57 * - The inode is unlinked for the last time. (fsnotify_inode_remove)
58 * - The inode is being evicted from cache. (fsnotify_inode_delete)
59 * - The fs the inode is on is unmounted. (fsnotify_inode_delete/fsnotify_unmount_inodes)
60 * - Something explicitly requests that it be removed. (fsnotify_destroy_mark)
61 * - The fsnotify_group associated with the mark is going away and all such marks
62 * need to be cleaned up. (fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group)
64 * Worst case we are given an inode and need to clean up all the marks on that
65 * inode. We take i_lock and walk the i_fsnotify_marks safely. For each
66 * mark on the list we take a reference (so the mark can't disappear under us).
67 * We remove that mark form the inode's list of marks and we add this mark to a
68 * private list anchored on the stack using i_free_list; we walk i_free_list
69 * and before we destroy the mark we make sure that we dont race with a
70 * concurrent destroy_group by getting a ref to the marks group and taking the
73 * Very similarly for freeing by group, except we use free_g_list.
75 * This has the very interesting property of being able to run concurrently with
76 * any (or all) other directions.
