Lino Sanfilippo 9756b9187e fsnotify: update comments concerning locking scheme
There have been changes in the locking scheme of fsnotify but the
comments in the source code have not been updated yet.  This patch
corrects this.

/*
* fsnotify inode mark locking/lifetime/and refcnting
*
* REFCNT:
* The group->recnt and mark->refcnt tell how many "things" in the kernel
* currently are referencing the objects. Both kind of objects typically will
* live inside the kernel with a refcnt of 2, one for its creation and one for
* the reference a group and a mark hold to each other.
* If you are holding the appropriate locks, you can take a reference and the
* object itself is guaranteed to survive until the reference is dropped.
*
* LOCKING:
* There are 3 locks involved with fsnotify inode marks and they MUST be taken
* in order as follows:
*
* group->mark_mutex
* mark->lock
* inode->i_lock
*
* group->mark_mutex protects the marks_list anchored inside a given group and
* each mark is hooked via the g_list. It also protects the groups private
* data (i.e group limits).
* mark->lock protects the marks attributes like its masks and flags.
* Furthermore it protects the access to a reference of the group that the mark
* is assigned to as well as the access to a reference of the inode/vfsmount
* that is being watched by the mark.
*
* inode->i_lock protects the i_fsnotify_marks list anchored inside a
* given inode and each mark is hooked via the i_list. (and sorta the
* free_i_list)
*
*
* LIFETIME:
* Inode marks survive between when they are added to an inode and when their
* refcnt==0.
*
* The inode mark can be cleared for a number of different reasons including:
* - The inode is unlinked for the last time. (fsnotify_inode_remove)
* - The inode is being evicted from cache. (fsnotify_inode_delete)
* - The fs the inode is on is unmounted. (fsnotify_inode_delete/fsnotify_unmount_inodes)
* - Something explicitly requests that it be removed. (fsnotify_destroy_mark)
* - The fsnotify_group associated with the mark is going away and all such marks
* need to be cleaned up. (fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group)
*
* Worst case we are given an inode and need to clean up all the marks on that
* inode. We take i_lock and walk the i_fsnotify_marks safely. For each
* mark on the list we take a reference (so the mark can't disappear under us).
* We remove that mark form the inode's list of marks and we add this mark to a
* private list anchored on the stack using i_free_list; we walk i_free_list
* and before we destroy the mark we make sure that we dont race with a
* concurrent destroy_group by getting a ref to the marks group and taking the
* groups mutex.
* Very similarly for freeing by group, except we use free_g_list.
*
* This has the very interesting property of being able to run concurrently with
* any (or all) other directions.
