The event is synchronous so if there is listener for this event, the kernel waits for reply. On success the execution continues as usual, on failure we propagate the error to userspace. This allows userspace to fill in file content on demand from slow storage. The context in which the events are generated has been picked so that we don't hold any locks and thus there's no risk of a deadlock for the userspace handler. The new pre-content event is available only for users with global CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability (similarly to other parts of fanotify functionality) and it is an administrator responsibility to make sure the userspace event handler doesn't do stupid stuff that can DoS the system. Based on your feedback from the last submission, fsnotify code has been improved and now file->f_mode encodes whether pre-content event needs to be generated for the file so the fast path when nobody wants pre-content event for the file just grows the additional file->f_mode check. As a bonus this also removes the checks whether the old FS_ACCESS event needs to be generated from the fast path. Also the place where the event is generated during page fault has been moved so now filemap_fault() generates the event if and only if there is no uptodate folio in the page cache. Also we have dropped FS_PRE_MODIFY event as current real-world users of the pre-content functionality don't really use it so let's start with the minimal useful feature set" * tag 'fsnotify_hsm_for_v6.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jack/linux-fs: (21 commits) fanotify: Fix crash in fanotify_init(2) fs: don't block write during exec on pre-content watched files fs: enable pre-content events on supported file systems ext4: add pre-content fsnotify hook for DAX faults btrfs: disable defrag on pre-content watched files xfs: add pre-content fsnotify hook for DAX faults fsnotify: generate pre-content permission event on page fault mm: don't allow huge faults for files with pre content watches fanotify: disable readahead if we have pre-content watches fanotify: allow to set errno in FAN_DENY permission response fanotify: report file range info with pre-content events fanotify: introduce FAN_PRE_ACCESS permission event fsnotify: generate pre-content permission event on truncate fsnotify: pass optional file access range in pre-content event fsnotify: introduce pre-content permission events fanotify: reserve event bit of deprecated FAN_DIR_MODIFY fanotify: rename a misnamed constant fanotify: don't skip extra event info if no info_mode is set fsnotify: check if file is actually being watched for pre-content events on open fsnotify: opt-in for permission events at file open time ... |

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 reStructuredText 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.
