Re: [PATCH] audit: use supplied gfp_mask from audit_buffer in kauditd_send_multicast_skb
On Thu, 18 Dec 2014 23:09:27 -0500, Richard Guy Briggs said:
Eric Paris explains: Since kauditd_send_multicast_skb() gets called
in
audit_log_end(), which can come from any context (aka even a sleeping context)
GFP_KERNEL can't be used. Since the audit_buffer knows what context it should
use, pass that down and use that.

I was reliably triggering 3-4 BUGs an hour, and with this patch applied I've
gone 9 hours without seeing one.
So feel free to add a Tested-By: when it goes out.
