use openat to create a file, then audit log can't show the full path name ?

Hi Guys,

I tried to use code like the following to create a file and I am wathcing /data/Documents:

# auditctl -l
-w /data/Documents -p rwa

my_open(const char *path, int flags, mode_t mode)
{
char *new = strdup(path);
char *p;
const char *last;
int dirfd, lastfd;
int fd = -1;

dirfd = lastfd = open("/", O_DIRECTORY|O_NOFOLLOW);

for (last = new + 1; (p = strchr(last, '/')); last = p)
{
while (*p == '/')
*p++ = '\0';
dirfd = openat(lastfd, last, O_RDONLY|O_DIRECTORY|O_NOFOLLOW);
close(lastfd);
if (dirfd < 0)
break;
lastfd = dirfd;
}
if (dirfd >= 0)
{
fd = openat(dirfd, last, flags|O_NOFOLLOW, mode);
close(dirfd);
}

then get audit logs like:
----

so looks like I can't get the full path /data/Documents/test-safeopen.txt,  audit can't remember the path in item 0 ?

Thanks.
