A regression was introduced by 116b9731ad76 ("fsnotify: add empty
fsnotify_{unlink,rmdir}() hooks"), which moved the fsnotify event for
unlink and rmdir to before the d_delete. This was noticed by a tool we
have internally for validating a FUSE file system. This tool watches
for IN_DELETE events and then stat's the file to make sure the file was
actually deleted. This started failing on our newer kernels, and it was
traced to this patch.
The problem is there's a slight window where we emit the event and
we delete the dentry. We can easily get the event before we've called
d_delete, and then stat the file before we're able to remove it. This
is easily reproducible with the following reproducer
static int failed = 0;
static void *watch_inotify(void *arg)
{
char name_buf[4096];
char *buf = malloc(EVENT_BUF_LEN);
char *directory = (char *)arg;
int fd;
int wd;
if (!buf) {
fprintf(stderr, "Failed to allocate inotify buf\n");
return NULL;
}
fd = inotify_init();
if (fd < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Failed to init inotify %d %s\n",
errno, strerror(errno));
return NULL;
}
wd = inotify_add_watch(fd, directory, IN_DELETE);
if (wd < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "inotify watch failed %d %s\n", errno,
strerror(errno));
close(fd);
return NULL;
}
while (!failed) {
ssize_t len = read(fd, buf, EVENT_BUF_LEN);
size_t cur = 0;
if (len < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "failed to read from inotify %d %s\n",
errno, strerror(errno));
break;
}
while (cur < len) {
struct inotify_event *event =
(struct inotify_event *)(buf + cur);
struct stat st;
int ret;
cur += EVENT_SIZE + event->len;
if (event->len == 0)
continue;
if (!(event->mask & IN_DELETE))
continue;
ret = snprintf(name_buf, 4096, "%s/%s", directory,

Fix this by introducing a d_delete_notify() and a fsnotify_delete()
helper. d_delete_notify() will hold onto the dentry inode, do the
d_delete, and then call fsnotify_delete() so that we avoid the race.
Then fix up all callers of the fsnotify_unlink/fsnotify_rmdir helpers to
either use d_delete_notify(), or use the fsnotify_delete() helper with
the appropriate changes to protect the lifetime of the inode. This
patch makes the test no longer fail.
Fixes: 116b9731ad76 ("fsnotify: add empty fsnotify_{unlink,rmdir}() hooks")

v2->v3:
- Added an EXPORT_SYMBOL() for d_delete_notify, cause I'm an idiot.
v1->v2:
- Took Amir's suggestion and wrapped all the weird work into a d_delete_notify()
helper and used that everywhere.
- Removed fsnotify_unlink/fsnotify_rmdir, replaced it with a fsnotify_delete()
helper.
