I compiled a new kernel and run old user space on this. The above event is
exactly what I see in my audit logs. Why the fan_info=3F? I really would have
expected 0. What if the actual rule number was 63? I think this will work
better to leave everything 0 with old user space.
Well, if it is to be consistently hex encoded, that corresponds to "?"
if it is to be interpreted as a string. Since the fan_type is 0,
fan_info would be invalid, so a value of 0 would be entirely reasonable,
hex encoded to fan_info=00. It could also be hex encoded to the string
"(none)". If you wanted "0" for
fan_type=FAN_RESPONSE_INFO_AUDIT_RULE,
that would be fan_info=30 if it were interpreted as a string, or
arguably 3F for an integer of rule (decimal) 63. Ultimately, fan_type
should determine how fan_info's hex encoded value should be interpreted.
But ultimately, the point of this patch is to hex encode the fan_info
field value.
