Subject: [PATCH git] revert audit_netlink_mutex change in filesystem audit patch
Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2006 19:49:02 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060426234902.GA31862@zk3.dec.com> (raw)

Replacing the audit_netlink_mutex with audit_add_rm_mutex wasn't a
good idea, so put it back.  While we're at it, use a more descriptive
name.

Please fold in with lspp.b8 d4bae8540266d609990e7c60acaca488c9ee45c2.
