We are only talking about post hooks to generate audit messages via audit_notify_watch() if the inode has previously been marked by audit_attach_watch(). Given your other hooks, it should already be possible to audit reads and writes to device nodes (since a watch should be possible to attach using your existing hooks in d_instantiate/d_splice_alias and notifications should be generated using your hook in permission), so why not allow auditing of creates as well? Given that udev makes /dev dynamic, it seems like watches might be important there as well, eh?
