Subject: AUDIT_AVC_PATH problems
Date: Tue, 29 May 2007 10:53:45 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070529145345.GI27042@devserv.devel.redhat.com> (raw)

	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?
