Selinux folks had been complaining about the lack of AVC_PATH
records when audit is disabled. I must admit my stupidity - I assumed
that avc_audit() really couldn't use audit_log_d_path() because of
deadlocks (== could be called with dcache_lock or vfsmount_lock held).
Shouldn't have made that assumption - it never gets called that way.
It _is_ called under spinlocks, but not those.
Since audit_log_d_path() uses ab->gfp_mask for allocations, kmalloc()
in there is not a problem. IOW, the simple fix should be sufficient: let's
rip AUDIT_AVC_PATH out and simply generate pathname as part of main record.
It's trivial to do. Patch below is against the mainline, rhel5 variant
is also trivial.
Comments?
