Re: [PATCH] audit: clear thread flag for new children

context creation has been disabled (auditctl -e0). This can cause new

This came up almost 2 years ago:

The problem is that removing that flag makes the children unauditable in the
future. The only place that flag gets set is during fork. Unless I'm missing
something, to make all children auditable again would mean stopping all
processes and or'ing that flag into all thread info areas. I do not want to
propose that patch to LKML. :)
