inotify: inotify_destroy_mark_entry could get called twice
inotify_destroy_mark_entry could get called twice for the same mark since it is called directly in inotify_rm_watch and when the mark is being destroyed for another reason. As an example assume that the file being watched was just deleted so inotify_destroy_mark_entry would get called from the path fsnotify_inoderemove() -> fsnotify_destroy_marks_by_inode() -> fsnotify_destroy_mark_entry() -> inotify_destroy_mark_entry(). If this happened at the same time as userspace tried to remove a watch via inotify_rm_watch we could attempt to remove the mark from the idr twice and could thus double dec the ref cnt and potentially could be in a use after free/double free situation. The fix is to have inotify_rm_watch use the generic recursive safe fsnotify_destroy_mark_by_entry() so we are sure the inotify_destroy_mark_entry() function can only be called one. This patch also renames the function to inotify_ingored_remove_idr() so it is clear what is actually going on in the function. Hopefully this fixes: [ 20.342058] idr_remove called for id=20 which is not allocated.

- * When, for whatever reason, inotify is done with a mark (or what used to be a
- * watch) we need to remove that watch from the idr and we need to send IN_IGNORED
- * for the given wd.
- *
- * There is a bit of recursion here. The loop looks like:
- * inotify_destroy_mark_entry -> fsnotify_destroy_mark_by_entry ->
- * inotify_freeing_mark -> inotify_destory_mark_entry -> restart
- * But the loop is broken in 2 places. fsnotify_destroy_mark_by_entry sets
- * entry->group = NULL before the call to inotify_freeing_mark, so the if (egroup)
- * test below will not call back to fsnotify again. But even if that test wasn't
- * there this would still be safe since fsnotify_destroy_mark_by_entry() is
- * safe from recursion.
+ * Send IN_IGNORED for this wd, remove this wd from the idr, and drop the
+ * internal reference help on the mark because it is in the idr.
