From: Dustin Kirkland <dustin.kirkland(a)us.ibm.com&gt; Subject: [PATCH 1/1] audit: misc bug and warning fixes This patch fixes a couple of bugs revealed in new features recently added to -mm1: * fixes warnings due to inconsistent use of const struct inode *inode * fixes bug that prevent a kernel from booting with audit on, and SELinux off due to a missing function in security/dummy.c * fixes a bug that throws spurious audit_panic() messages due to a missing return just before an error_path label * some reasonable house cleaning in audit_ipc_context(), audit_inode_context(), and audit_log_task_context() Signed-off-by: Dustin Kirkland <dustin.kirkland(a)us.ibm.com&gt; --- David- This is a patch freshly generated against your current git tree. This patch incorporates several minor changes that I've put on the list in the past week (though not in canonical patch format). Once you give this a look over, I'd appreciate you merging into your git tree soon.
