OK, we'll just let audit_log() assemble its own skb and queue it for a separate kernel thread to feed up to auditd. We'll fix up the horrid error handling mess we had before too, where we used to clone the skb because we know netlink_unicast() would free it even on temporary errors (like the SO_RCVBUF limit being reached). This includes one of Steve's earlier patches which ensures that messages in the skb are NUL-terminated. It should all appear some time soon in http://www.kernel.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/audit-2.6.g...

or more perhaps more usefully (since Thomas allows us to distinguish between local and merged commits) in http://www.tglx.de/cgi-bin/gittracker/commit/tracker-linux/audit-2.6.git?...
