Subjectfsnotify_mark_srcu wtf?
We've got a report where a fanotify daemon that implements permission checks
screws up and doesn't send a reply. This then causes widespread hangs due to
fsnotify_mark_srcu read side lock being held and thus causing synchronize_srcu()
called from e.g. inotify_release()-> fsnotify_destroy_group()->
fsnotify_mark_destroy_list() to block.

Below program demonstrates the issue. It should output a single line:

close(inotify_fd): success

Instead it outputs nothing, which means that close(inotify_fd) got blocked by
the waiting permission event.

Wouldn't making the srcu per-group fix this? Would that be too expensive?

Thanks,
Miklos
