Instead of removing mark from object list from fsnotify_detach_mark(),
remove the mark when last reference to the mark is dropped. This will
allow fanotify to wait for userspace response to event without having to
hold onto fsnotify_mark_srcu.

Some nits here.
and re-echoing of comments from the patch that introduces
fsnotify_mark_connector, because IMO, this code makes a good
example for these arguments.

Repeating question about the need to use rcu_assign_pointer here,
so you may address it in this patch instead of the patch that introduced
the connector struct.

Style nit: maybe if (!atomic_dec_and_lock(...)) return; ?

Nit: marking mark as "dead" would imply
mark->flags &= ~FSNOTIFY_MARK_FLAG_ALIVE
which does not happen here. need to be careful with wording...

You probably meant to write "Mark mark as detached...".

In this code, it is extra dissonant that spin_unlock(&conn->lock);
is obfuscated by fsnotify_put_connector(conn);
since you (rightfully) used spin_unlock() inside the for loop.
As I suggested in earlier patch - get rid of fsnotify_put_connector()
helper is the easy road.

It is not clear to me from the comment above if the order of
iput(inode) and fsnotify_put_mark(old_mark) is meaningful
or arbitrary, because af far as I understand "until all mark
references get dropped" does not refer to "old_mark".

If the order is arbitrary, to me it would have looked better
to see the snippet missing from within the for loop here:

               spin_unlock(&conn->lock);
               if (old_mark)
                       fsnotify_put_mark(old_mark);

And iput(inode) as the final chord of this function.

But if order is not arbitrary, please elaborate in comment.

Yeah, good catch. Thanks.
