20 * fsnotify inode mark locking/lifetime/and refcnting
21 *
22 * REFCNT:
23 * The mark->refcnt tells how many "things" in the kernel currently are
24 * referencing this object. The object typically will live inside the kernel
25 * with a refcnt of 2, one for each list it is on (i_list, g_list). Any task
26 * which can find this object holding the appropriete locks, can take a reference
27 * and the object itself is guarenteed to survive until the reference is dropped.
28 *
29 * LOCKING:
30 * There are 3 spinlocks involved with fsnotify inode marks and they MUST
31 * be taken in order as follows:
32 *
33 * mark->lock
34 * group->mark_lock
35 * inode->i_lock
36 *
37 * mark->lock protects 2 things, mark->group and mark->inode. You must hold
38 * that lock to dereference either of these things (they could be NULL even with
39 * the lock)
40 *
41 * group->mark_lock protects the marks_list anchored inside a given group
42 * and each mark is hooked via the g_list. It also sorta protects the
43 * free_g_list, which when used is anchored by a private list on the stack of the
44 * task which held the group->mark_lock.
45 *
46 * inode->i_lock protects the i_fsnotify_marks list anchored inside a
47 * given inode and each mark is hooked via the i_list. (and sorta the
48 * free_i_list)
49 *
50 *
51 * LIFETIME:
52 * Inode marks survive between when they are added to an inode and when their
53 * refcnt==0.
54 *
55 * The inode mark can be cleared for a number of different reasons including:
56 * - The inode is unlinked for the last time. (fsnotify_inode_remove)
57 * - The inode is being evicted from cache. (fsnotify_inode_delete)
58 * - The fs the inode is on is unmounted. (fsnotify_inode_delete/fsnotify_unmount_inodes)
59 * - Something explicitly requests that it be removed. (fsnotify_destroy_mark)
60 * - The fsnotify_group associated with the mark is going away and all such marks
61 * need to be cleaned up. (fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group)
62 *
63 * Worst case we are given an inode and need to clean up all the marks on that
64 * inode. We take i_lock and walk the i_fsnotify_marks safely. For each
65 * mark on the list we take a reference (so the mark can't disappear under us).
66 * We remove that mark form the inode's list of marks and we add this mark to a
67 * private list anchored on the stack using i_free_list; At this point we no
68 * longer fear anything finding the mark using the inode's list of marks.
69 *
70 * We can safely and locklessly run the private list on the stack of everything
71 * we just unattached from the original inode. For each mark on the private list
72 * we grab the mark-> and can thus dereference mark->group and mark->inode. If
73 * we see the group and inode are not NULL we take those locks. Now holding all
74 * 3 locks we can completely remove the mark from other tasks finding it in the
75 * future. Remember, 10 things might already be referencing this mark, but they
76 * better be holding a ref. We drop our reference we took before we unhooked it
77 * from the inode. When the ref hits 0 we can free the mark.
78 *
79 * Very similarly for freeing by group, except we use free_g_list.
80 *
81 * This has the very interesting property of being able to run concurrently with
82 * any (or all) other directions.
