Re: [RFC PATCH 4/5] audit: fix filename matching in __audit_inode() and __audit_inode_child()

In all likelihood there were some subtle, and perhaps not so subtle, bugs with filename matching in audit_inode() and audit_inode_child() for some time, however, recent changes to the audit filename code have definitely broken the filename matching code. The breakage could result in duplicate filenames in the audit log and other odd audit record entries. This patch fixes the filename matching code and restores some sanity to the filename audit records. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <pmoore(a)redhat.com&gt;
