The issue is the audit subsystem being overwhelmed by potentially
useless information.
The initial report was "there's a bunch of null PATH records, please
make them go away", which was anywhere from 500 to 6000 records.
I don't know the audit system and exactly what it is looking for. How
does it deal with other virtual filesystems like procfs? Why is tracefs
different?
