* done. Cleanup is just deactivate_super(). However, that leaves a messy
* case - what if we *are* racing with umount() and active references to
* superblock can't be acquired anymore? We can bump ->s_count, grab
- * ->s_umount, which will almost certainly wait until the superblock is shut
- * down and the watch in question is pining for fjords. That's fine, but
- * there is a problem - we might have hit the window between ->s_active
- * getting to 0 (i.e. the moment when superblock is past the point of no return
- * and is heading for shutdown) and the moment when deactivate_super() acquires
- * ->s_umount. We could just do drop_super() yield() and retry, but that's
- * rather antisocial and this stuff is luser-triggerable. OTOH, having grabbed
- * ->s_umount and having found that we'd got there first (i.e. that ->s_root is
- * non-NULL) we know that we won't race with inotify_umount_inodes(). So we
- * could grab a reference to watch and do the rest as above, just with
- * drop_super() instead of deactivate_super(), right? Wrong. We had to drop
- * ih->mutex before we could grab ->s_umount. So the watch could've been gone
- * already.
- *
- * That still can be dealt with - we need to save watch->wd, do idr_find()
- * and compare its result with our pointer. If they match, we either have
- * the damn thing still alive or we'd lost not one but two races at once,
- * the watch had been killed and a new one got created with the same ->wd
- * at the same address. That couldn't have happened in inotify_destroy(),
- * but inotify_rm_wd() could run into that. Still, "new one got created"
- * is not a problem - we have every right to kill it or leave it alone,
- * whatever's more convenient.
- *
- * So we can use idr_find(...) == watch && watch->inode->i_sb == sb as
- * "grab it and kill it" check. If it's been our original watch, we are
- * fine, if it's a newcomer - nevermind, just pretend that we'd won the
- * race and kill the fscker anyway; we are safe since we know that its
- * superblock won't be going away.
+ * ->s_umount, which will wait until the superblock is shut down and the
+ * watch in question is pining for fjords.
*
* And yes, this is far beyond mere "not very pretty"; so's the entire
* concept of inotify to start with.
* Called with ih->mutex held, drops it. Possible return values:
* 0 - nothing to do, it has died
* 1 - remove it, drop the reference and deactivate_super()
- * 2 - remove it, drop the reference and drop_super(); we tried hard to avoid
- * that variant, since it involved a lot of PITA, but that's the best that
- * could've been done.
