[PATCH v6 00/10] audit: overhaul audit_names handling to allow for retrying on path-based syscalls

This patchset is another minor respin of the series that I posted June 26th. The main impetus of this series to to allow the audit_names infrastructure to properly handle the situation where the lookup and operation on a path-based syscall is retried. Along with that, there are a number of bugfixes in this patch, as well as a few minor optimizations. This series is available via the "audit" branch of my git tree as well: git://git.samba.org/jlayton/linux.git audit I'd like to see this patchset go into 3.7 if at all possible. Eric Paris (1): audit: make audit_compare_dname_path use parent_len helper Jeff Layton (9): audit: remove unnecessary NULL ptr checks from do_path_lookup audit: pass in dentry to audit_copy_inode wherever possible audit: no need to walk list in audit_inode if name is NULL audit: reverse arguments to audit_inode_child audit: add a new "type" field to audit_names struct audit: set the name_len in audit_inode for parent lookups audit: remove dirlen argument to audit_compare_dname_path audit: optimize audit_compare_dname_path audit: overhaul __audit_inode_child to accomodate retrying fs/btrfs/ioctl.c | 2 +- fs/namei.c | 22 ++++----- fs/open.c | 4 +- fs/xattr.c | 8 ++-- include/linux/audit.h | 36 +++++++++----- include/linux/fsnotify.h | 8 ++-- ipc/mqueue.c | 8 ++-- kernel/audit.h | 7 ++- kernel/audit_watch.c | 3 +- kernel/auditfilter.c | 65 +++++++++++++++++--------- kernel/auditsc.c | 119 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------ 11 files changed, 170 insertions(+), 112 deletions(-) -- 1.7.11.4
