From 8fcd65280abc4699510f1853ede31f43e8a3783a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Paris Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2010 17:21:59 -0400 Subject: fanotify: ignore events on directories unless specifically requested fanotify has a very limited number of events it sends on directories. The usefulness of these events is yet to be seen and still we send them. This is particularly painful for mount marks where one might receive many of these useless events. As such this patch will drop events on IS_DIR() inodes unless they were explictly requested with FAN_ON_DIR. This means that a mark on a directory without FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD or FAN_ON_DIR is meaningless and will result in no events ever (although it will still be allowed since detecting it is hard) Signed-off-by: Eric Paris --- fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify_user.c | 12 ++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+) (limited to 'fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify_user.c') diff --git a/fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify_user.c b/fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify_user.c index a7d9369482d..ff1a908c970 100644 --- a/fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify_user.c +++ b/fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify_user.c @@ -570,6 +570,12 @@ static __u32 fanotify_mark_add_to_mask(struct fsnotify_mark *fsn_mark, if (flags & FAN_MARK_IGNORED_SURV_MODIFY) fsn_mark->flags |= FSNOTIFY_MARK_FLAG_IGNORED_SURV_MODIFY; } + + if (!(flags & FAN_MARK_ONDIR)) { + __u32 tmask = fsn_mark->ignored_mask | FAN_ONDIR; + fsnotify_set_mark_ignored_mask_locked(fsn_mark, tmask); + } + spin_unlock(&fsn_mark->lock); return mask & ~oldmask; @@ -766,6 +772,12 @@ SYSCALL_DEFINE(fanotify_mark)(int fanotify_fd, unsigned int flags, default: return -EINVAL; } + + if (mask & FAN_ONDIR) { + flags |= FAN_MARK_ONDIR; + mask &= ~FAN_ONDIR; + } + #ifdef CONFIG_FANOTIFY_ACCESS_PERMISSIONS if (mask & ~(FAN_ALL_EVENTS | FAN_ALL_PERM_EVENTS | FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD)) #else -- cgit v1.2.3
