Correct? Maybe I'd rename fsnotify_want_parent() (which seems like it returns bool) to fsnotify_parent_needed_mask() or something like that. Also I'd hide all those checks in a helper function like: fsnotify_event_needs_parent(mnt, inode, mask) So we'd then have just something like: if (!inode->i_fsnotify_marks && !inode->i_sb->s_fsnotify_marks && (!mnt || !mnt->mnt_fsnotify_marks) && !parent_watched) return 0; if (!parent_watched && !fsnotify_event_needs_parent(mnt, inode, mask)) goto notify_child; ... > + > parent = NULL; > - if (!(dentry->d_flags & DCACHE_FSNOTIFY_PARENT_WATCHED)) > + test_mask = mask & FS_EVENTS_POSS_TO_PARENT; > + if (!(marks_mask & test_mask) && !parent_watched) > goto notify_child; > > + /* Does parent inode care about events on children? */ > parent = dget_parent(dentry); > p_inode = parent->d_inode; > + p_mask = fsnotify_inode_watches_children(p_inode); > > - if (unlikely(!fsnotify_inode_watches_children(p_inode))) { > + if (p_mask) > + marks_mask |= p_mask; > + else if (unlikely(parent_watched)) > __fsnotify_update_child_dentry_flags(p_inode); > - } else if (p_inode->i_fsnotify_mask & mask & ALL_FSNOTIFY_EVENTS) { > + > + if ((marks_mask & test_mask) && p_inode != inode) { ^^ this is effectively !IS_ROOT(dentry), isn't it? But since you've checked that above can it ever be that p_inode == inode? Also if marks_mask & test_mask == 0, why do you go to a branch that notifies child? There shouldn't be anything to report there either. Am I missing something? ... Oh, I see, the FS_EVENTS_POSS_TO_PARENT masking above could cause that child is still interested. Because mask & marks_mask can still contain something. Maybe it would be more comprehensible if we restructure the above like: p_mask = fsnotify_inode_watches_children(p_inode); if (unlikely(parent_watched && !p_mask)) __fsnotify_update_child_dentry_flags(p_inode); /* * Include parent in notification either if some notification * groups require parent info (!parent_watched case) or the parent is * interested in this event. */ if (!parent_watched || (mask & p_mask & ALL_FSNOTIFY_EVENTS)) { ... } > struct name_snapshot name; > > /* When notifying parent, child should be passed as data */ > @@ -346,15 +374,11 @@ int fsnotify(struct inode *to_tell, __u32 mask, const void *data, int data_type, > (!child || !child->i_fsnotify_marks)) > return 0; > > - /* An event "on child" is not intended for a mount/sb mark */ > - marks_mask = to_tell->i_fsnotify_mask; > - if (!child) { > - marks_mask |= sb->s_fsnotify_mask; > - if (mnt) > - marks_mask |= mnt->mnt_fsnotify_mask; > - } else { > + marks_mask = to_tell->i_fsnotify_mask | sb->s_fsnotify_mask; > + if (mnt) > + marks_mask |= mnt->mnt_fsnotify_mask; > + if (child) > marks_mask |= child->i_fsnotify_mask; > - } This hunk seems to belong to the previous patch... It fixes the problem I've spotted there. Honza -- Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxxx> SUSE Labs, CR
