Re: [RFC][PATCH] audit: Simplify by assuming the callers socket buffer is large enough

Modify audit_send_reply to directly use a non-blocking send and

Modify audit_list_rules_send to use audit_send_reply and give up

Merge audit_list_rules into iaudit_list_rules_send as the code
is now sufficiently simple to not justify to callers.
Kill audit_send_list, audit_send_reply_thread because using
a separate thread for replies is not needed when sending
packets syncrhonously.
Nothing much seems to be happening here?
In an earlier email you said "While reading through 3.14-rc1 I found a
pretty siginficant mishandling of network namespaces in the recent
audit changes." Were those recent audit changes a post-3.14 thing? And
what is the user-visible effect of the mishandling?
Thanks.
