From df6a58c5c5aa8ecb1e088ecead3fa33ae70181f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2016 17:51:17 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] kernfs: don't depend on d_find_any_alias() when generating notifications kernfs_notify_workfn() sends out file modified events for the scheduled kernfs_nodes. Because the modifications aren't from userland, it doesn't have the matching file struct at hand and can't use fsnotify_modify(). Instead, it looked up the inode and then used d_find_any_alias() to find the dentry and used fsnotify_parent() and fsnotify() directly to generate notifications. The assumption was that the relevant dentries would have been pinned if there are listeners, which isn't true as inotify doesn't pin dentries at all and watching the parent doesn't pin the child dentries even for dnotify. This led to, for example, inotify watchers not getting notifications if the system is under memory pressure and the matching dentries got reclaimed. It can also be triggered through /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches or a remount attempt which involves shrinking dcache. fsnotify_parent() only uses the dentry to access the parent inode, which kernfs can do easily. Update kernfs_notify_workfn() so that it uses fsnotify() directly for both the parent and target inodes without going through d_find_any_alias(). While at it, supply the target file name to fsnotify() from kernfs_node->name.

This breaks script checkarray in mdadm tool in debian where /bin/sh is 'dash' because its builtin 'read' reads only one byte at a time. Script gets 'i' instead of 'idle' when reads current action from /sys/block/$dev/md/sync_action and as a result does nothing. This patch adds trivial implementation of partial read: generate whole string and move required part into buffer head.
