fanotify: introduce FAN_MARK_IGNORE

Browse Source 
[ Upstream commit e252f2ed1c8c6c3884ab5dd34e003ed21f1fe6e0 ]

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.
