Subject: fsnotify: handle subfiles' perm events
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.
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.
