Amir Goldstein fd7de66b50 fsnotify: optimize FS_MODIFY events with no ignored masks 
[ Upstream commit 04e317ba72 ]

fsnotify() treats FS_MODIFY events specially - it does not skip them
even if the FS_MODIFY event does not apear in the object's fsnotify
mask.  This is because send_to_group() checks if FS_MODIFY needs to
clear ignored mask of marks.

The common case is that an object does not have any mark with ignored
mask and in particular, that it does not have a mark with ignored mask
and without the FSNOTIFY_MARK_FLAG_IGNORED_SURV_MODIFY flag.

Set FS_MODIFY in object's fsnotify mask during fsnotify_recalc_mask()
if object has a mark with an ignored mask and without the
FSNOTIFY_MARK_FLAG_IGNORED_SURV_MODIFY flag and remove the special
treatment of FS_MODIFY in fsnotify(), so that FS_MODIFY events could
be optimized in the common case.

Call fsnotify_recalc_mask() from fanotify after adding or removing an
ignored mask from a mark without FSNOTIFY_MARK_FLAG_IGNORED_SURV_MODIFY
or when adding the FSNOTIFY_MARK_FLAG_IGNORED_SURV_MODIFY flag to a mark
with ignored mask (the flag cannot be removed by fanotify uapi).

Performance results for doing 10000000 write(2)s to tmpfs:

				vanilla		patched
without notification mark	25.486+-1.054	24.965+-0.244
with notification mark		30.111+-0.139	26.891+-1.355

So we can see the overhead of notification subsystem has been
drastically reduced.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
