fsnotify: consistent behavior for parent not watching children
The logic for handling events on child in groups that have a mark on the parent inode, but without FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD flag in the mask is duplicated in several places and inconsistent. Move the logic into the preparation of mark type iterator, so that the parent mark type will be excluded from all mark type iterations in that case. This results in several subtle changes of behavior, hopefully all desired changes of behavior, for example: - Group A has a mount mark with FS_MODIFY in mask - Group A has a mark with ignore mask that does not survive FS_MODIFY and does not watch children on directory D. - Group B has a mark with FS_MODIFY in mask that does watch children on directory D. - FS_MODIFY event on file D/foo should not clear the ignore mask of group A, but before this change it does And if group A ignore mask was set to survive FS_MODIFY: - FS_MODIFY event on file D/foo should be reported to group A on account of the mount mark, but before this change it is wrongly ignored Fixes: 2f02fd3f ("fanotify: fix ignore mask logic for events on child and on dir") Reported-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20220314113337.j7slrb5srxukztje@quack3.lan/Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220511190213.831646-3-amir73il@gmail.com
