From e252f2ed1c8c6c3884ab5dd34e003ed21f1fe6e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amir Goldstein Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2022 17:42:10 +0300 Subject: fanotify: introduce FAN_MARK_IGNORE This flag is a new way to configure ignore mask which allows adding and removing the event flags FAN_ONDIR and FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD in ignore mask. The legacy FAN_MARK_IGNORED_MASK flag would always ignore events on directories and would ignore events on children depending on whether the FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD flag was set in the (non ignored) mask. FAN_MARK_IGNORE can be used to ignore events on children without setting FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD in the mark's mask and will not ignore events on directories unconditionally, only when FAN_ONDIR is set in ignore mask. The new behavior is non-downgradable. After calling fanotify_mark() with FAN_MARK_IGNORE once, calling fanotify_mark() with FAN_MARK_IGNORED_MASK on the same object will return EEXIST error. Setting the event flags with FAN_MARK_IGNORE on a non-dir inode mark has no meaning and will return ENOTDIR error. The meaning of FAN_MARK_IGNORED_SURV_MODIFY is preserved with the new FAN_MARK_IGNORE flag, but with a few semantic differences: 1. FAN_MARK_IGNORED_SURV_MODIFY is required for filesystem and mount marks and on an inode mark on a directory. Omitting this flag will return EINVAL or EISDIR error. 2. An ignore mask on a non-directory inode that survives modify could never be downgraded to an ignore mask that does not survive modify. With new FAN_MARK_IGNORE semantics we make that rule explicit - trying to update a surviving ignore mask without the flag FAN_MARK_IGNORED_SURV_MODIFY will return EEXIST error. The conveniene macro FAN_MARK_IGNORE_SURV is added for (FAN_MARK_IGNORE | FAN_MARK_IGNORED_SURV_MODIFY), because the common case should use short constant names.
