There have been changes in the locking scheme of fsnotify but the
comments in the source code have not been updated yet. This patch
corrects this.

  * fsnotify inode mark locking/lifetime/and refcnting
  *
  * REFCNT:
- * The mark->refcnt tells how many "things" in the kernel currently are
- * referencing this object.  The object typically will live inside the kernel
- * with a refcnt of 2, one for each list it is on (i_list, g_list).  Any task
- * which can find this object holding the appropriete locks, can take a reference
- * and the object itself is guaranteed to survive until the reference is dropped.
+ * The group->recnt and mark->refcnt tell how many "things" in the kernel
+ * currently are referencing the objects. Both kind of objects typically will
+ * live inside the kernel with a refcnt of 2, one for its creation and one for
+ * the reference a group and a mark hold to each other.
+ * If you are holding the appropriate locks, you can take a reference and the
+ * object itself is guaranteed to survive until the reference is dropped.
  *
  * LOCKING:
- * There are 3 spinlocks involved with fsnotify inode marks and they MUST
- * be taken in order as follows:
+ * There are 3 locks involved with fsnotify inode marks and they MUST be taken
+ * in order as follows:
  *
+ * group->mark_mutex
  * mark->lock
- * group->mark_lock
  * inode->i_lock
  *
- * mark->lock protects 2 things, mark->group and mark->inode.  You must hold
- * that lock to dereference either of these things (they could be NULL even with
- * the lock)
- *
- * group->mark_lock protects the marks_list anchored inside a given group
- * and each mark is hooked via the g_list.  It also sorta protects the
- * free_g_list, which when used is anchored by a private list on the stack of the
- * task which held the group->mark_lock.
+ * group->mark_mutex protects the marks_list anchored inside a given group and
+ * each mark is hooked via the g_list.  It also protects the groups private
+ * data (i.e group limits).
+
+ * mark->lock protects the marks attributes like its masks and flags.
+ * Furthermore it protects the access to a reference of the group that the mark
+ * is assigned to as well as the access to a reference of the inode/vfsmount
+ * that is being watched by the mark.
  *
  * inode->i_lock protects the i_fsnotify_marks list anchored inside a
  * given inode and each mark is hooked via the i_list. (and sorta the
···
  * inode.  We take i_lock and walk the i_fsnotify_marks safely.  For each
  * mark on the list we take a reference (so the mark can't disappear under us).
  * We remove that mark form the inode's list of marks and we add this mark to a
- * private list anchored on the stack using i_free_list;  At this point we no
- * longer fear anything finding the mark using the inode's list of marks.
- *
- * We can safely and locklessly run the private list on the stack of everything
- * we just unattached from the original inode.  For each mark on the private list
- * we grab the mark-> and can thus dereference mark->group and mark->inode.  If
- * we see the group and inode are not NULL we take those locks.  Now holding all
- * 3 locks we can completely remove the mark from other tasks finding it in the
- * future.  Remember, 10 things might already be referencing this mark, but they
- * better be holding a ref.  We drop our reference we took before we unhooked it
- * from the inode.  When the ref hits 0 we can free the mark.
- *
+ * private list anchored on the stack using i_free_list; we walk i_free_list
+ * and before we destroy the mark we make sure that we dont race with a
+ * concurrent destroy_group by getting a ref to the marks group and taking the
+ * groups mutex.
+
  * Very similarly for freeing by group, except we use free_g_list.
  *
  * This has the very interesting property of being able to run concurrently with
