Could you explain how this can happen ? From what I can see whenever

is queued to the receive queue the input function is called immediately
through sk->sk_data_ready() -> netlink_data_ready() -> nlk->data_ready()
and processes all queued packets, except in the case you pointed out,
when audit_netlink_sem is already taken.
More packets may be queued by another sender while audit_receive() is
still processing the original one, so it will process them too.
