Hello Steve, all audit status's type is __u32, so '%u' should be used in format string of printf rather than '%d', otherwise the value outputted to user will be wraparound. For example: # auditctl -r 4294967295 AUDIT_STATUS: enabled=1 flag=1 pid=8999 rate_limit=-1 backlog_limit=320 lost=2241 backlog=0 but it should be # auditctl -r 4294967295 AUDIT_STATUS: enabled=1 flag=1 pid=8999 rate_limit=4294967295 backlog_limit=320 lost=2270 backlog=0 This is the patch. Can you apply it?
