A few times now I've seen audit_get_reply() return EBADE

output rate of about 5.5k records/sec. The system remains responsive,
and it always fixes itself when the rate comes back down again.
What exactly does EBADE mean in this context?
No idea. A quick grep in the kernel source shows it only comes from a couple
places. bluetooth, sparc, and dlm are the main places. none of which seem to
be netlink related.
I assume I'm dropping audit messages from the kernel while this
is going on.
Is there any way I can determine how many?
I think you'd have to patch the kernel to prove that to yourself.
Is there any way to tune things to survive this temporary stress
event?
I can't see how you are getting this in the first place. Have you grepped
around to see where its coming from?
