[PATCH v8 02/19] fsnotify: opt-in for permission events at file open time

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@xxxxxxxxx>

Legacy inotify/fanotify listeners can add watches for events on inode,
parent or mount and expect to get events (e.g. FS_MODIFY) on files that
were already open at the time of setting up the watches.

fanotify permission events are typically used by Anti-malware sofware,
that is watching the entire mount and it is not common to have more that
one Anti-malware engine installed on a system.

To reduce the overhead of the fsnotify_file_perm() hooks on every file
access, relax the semantics of the legacy FAN_ACCESS_PERM event to generate
events only if there were *any* permission event listeners on the
filesystem at the time that the file was opened.

The new semantic is implemented by extending the FMODE_NONOTIFY bit into
two FMODE_NONOTIFY_* bits, that are used to store a mode for which of the
events types to report.

This is going to apply to the new fanotify pre-content events in order
to reduce the cost of the new pre-content event vfs hooks.
