Subject: [PATCH 15/26] audit: remove audit_finish_fork as it can't be called
Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2011 17:04:06 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111117220406.23481.59333.stgit@paris.rdu.redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20111117220244.23481.96785.stgit@paris.rdu.redhat.com>

Audit entry,always rules are not allowed and are automatically changed in
exit,always rules in userspace.  The kernel refuses to load such rules.

Thus a task in the middle of a syscall (and thus in audit_finish_fork())
can only be in one of two states: AUDIT_BUILD_CONTEXT or AUDIT_DISABLED.
Since the current task cannot be in AUDIT_RECORD_CONTEXT we aren't every
going to actually use the code in audit_finish_fork() since it will
return without doing anything.  Thus drop the code.
