Subject: [PATCH] fsnotify: handle subfiles' perm events
Date: Wed,  8 Feb 2012 20:58:48 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1328702328-1808-1-git-send-email-naota@elisp.net> (raw)

FS_OPEN_PERM and FS_ACCESS_PERM are not listed on
FS_EVENTS_POSS_ON_CHILD. Due to fsnotify_inode_watches_children()
check, if you only specify only these events as fsnotify_mask, you
don't get subfiles' perm events notified.

This patch add the events to FS_EVENTS_POSS_ON_CHILD to get them
notified even if only these events are specified to fsnotify_mask.

Recently I'm working on fanotify and found the following strange
behaviors.

I wrote a program to set fanotify_mark on "/tmp/block" and FAN_DENY
all events notified.

fanotify_mask = FAN_ALL_EVENTS | FAN_ALL_PERM_EVENTS | FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD:
$ cd /tmp/block; cat foo
cat: foo: Operation not permitted

Operation on the file is blocked as expected. 

But,

fanotify_mask = FAN_ALL_PERM_EVENTS | FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD:
$ cd /tmp/block; cat foo
aaa

It's not blocked anymore. This is confusing behavior. Also reading
commit "fsnotify: call fsnotify_parent in perm events", it seems like
fsnotify should handle subfiles' perm events as well as the other
notify events.

With this patch, regardless of FAN_ALL_EVENTS set or not:
$ cd /tmp/block; cat foo
cat: foo: Operation not permitted

Operation on the file is now blocked properly.
