Message-ID: <dea7bb546d49cbb8f342e016235ba4c3@paul-moore.com> (raw)
Linus,
We've only got a few audit patches for the v7.1 merge window, the
highlights are below:
- Improved handling of unknown status requests from userspace
The current kernel code ignores unknown/unused request bits sent from
userspace and returns an error code based on the results of the request(s)
it does understand. The patch from Ricardo fixes this so that unknown
requests return an -EINVAL to userspace, making compatibility a bit
easier moving forward.
- A number of small style and formatting cleanups
Paul
