    fanotify: fix event filtering with FAN_ONDIR set · b3c1030d
    Suzuki K. Poulose authored
    With FAN_ONDIR set, the user can end up getting events, which it hasn't
    marked.  This was revealed with fanotify04 testcase failure on
    Linux-4.0-rc1, and is a regression from 3.19, revealed with 66ba93c0
    
    
    ("fanotify: don't set FAN_ONDIR implicitly on a marks ignored mask").
    
       # /opt/ltp/testcases/bin/fanotify04
       [ ... ]
      fanotify04    7  TPASS  :  event generated properly for type 100000
      fanotify04    8  TFAIL  :  fanotify04.c:147: got unexpected event 30
      fanotify04    9  TPASS  :  No event as expected
    
    The testcase sets the adds the following marks : FAN_OPEN | FAN_ONDIR for
    a fanotify on a dir.  Then does an open(), followed by close() of the
    directory and expects to see an event FAN_OPEN(0x20).  However, the
    fanotify returns (FAN_OPEN|FAN_CLOSE_NOWRITE(0x10)).  This happens due to
    the flaw in the check for event_mask in fanotify_should_send_event() which
    does:
    
    	if (event_mask & marks_mask & ~marks_ignored_mask)
    		return true;
    
    where, event_mask == (FAN_ONDIR | FAN_CLOSE_NOWRITE),
           marks_mask == (FAN_ONDIR | FAN_OPEN),
           marks_ignored_mask == 0
    
    Fix this by masking the outgoing events to the user, as we already take
    care of FAN_ONDIR and FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD.
