There are only two calls sites of fsnotify_duplicate_mark(). Those are
in kernel/audit_tree.c and both are bogus. Vfsmount pointer is unused
for audit tree, inode pointer and group gets set in
fsnotify_add_mark_locked() later anyway, mask and free_mark are already
set in alloc_chunk(). In fact, calling fsnotify_duplicate_mark() is
actively harmful because following fsnotify_add_mark_locked() will leak
group reference by overwriting the group pointer. So just remove the two
calls to fsnotify_duplicate_mark() and the function.

At first glance this looks reasonable, although you keep mentioning
"fsnotify_add_mark_locked" above when untag_chunk() is calling
"fsnotify_add_mark"; I just wanted to make sure you hadn't intended to
take the mutex in the audit code instead of relying on the locking in
fsnotify_add_mark().

No, I didn't want to take mutex in the audit code. It is just that
fsnotify_add_mark() is a thin wrapper around fsnotify_add_mark_locked() so
I was speaking about that function.

Understood.  I just wanted to make sure this is what you intended
since the commit description and patch did not match.

If you end up respinning the patchset for any reason I might suggest
changing the function name in the description above.
