Yes and no. Yes, it appears to be resolved in v5.8-rc1 and above, but
the problematic commit is in v5.7 and I'm not sure backporting the fix
in v5.8-rcX plus this patch is the right thing to do for a released
kernel. The lowest risk fix for v5.7 at this point is to do a revert;
Ok, fair enough. I don't understand why you didn't do the revert since
it appears so trivial to you and this review and fix turned out to be
marginally more work. I didn't understand what you wanted when you
referred to stable.
regardless of what happens with this patch and v5.8-rcX please post
a
revert for the audit/stable-5.7 tree as soon as you can.

I understand the "fds[0] = -1" fix in audit_alloc_context()
(ironically, the kzalloc() which is supposed to help with cases like
this, hurts us with this particular field), but I'm still not quite
seeing why we need to sprinkle audit_getcwd() calls everywhere to fix
this bug (this seems more like a feature add than a bigfix). Yes,
they may fix the problem but it seems like simply adding a
context->pwd test in audit_log_name() similar to what we do in
audit_log_exit() is the correct fix.
Well, considering that ghak96 ended up being a bugfix (that wasn't its
intent), I figured these audit_getcwd() were also bugfixes to prevent
the same BUG under different calling conditions.
We are currently at -rc7 and this really needs to land before v5.8
is
released, presumably this weekend; this means a small and limited bug
fix patch is what is needed.
Ok, so it sounds like rather than just fix it now, it would be better to
revert it, then submit *one* patch for ghak120 plus this fix that will
go tentatively upstream in 3 months, fully in 5. Arguably the last
chunk above should be added to ghak96, so that should be reverted too,
then resubmitted with this added chunk (or it could be a fixup chunk
that would need to be sequenced with ghak120). As for the middle two
chunks, they could either be resubmitted with a resubmitted ghak96, or
with a resubmitted ghak120. As for the timing of all of these, ghak96
should be in place before the ghak120 patch, so even resubmitting one
patch for the combined ghak120 and ghak96 might make more sense.
I know you like only really minimal fixes this late, but this seemed
pretty minimal to me...
