Subject: [PATCH] audit: wait_for_auditd() should use TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE
Date: Fri, 24 May 2013 19:39:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130524173925.GA17177@redhat.com> (raw)

audit_log_start() does wait_for_auditd() in a loop until
audit_backlog_wait_time passes or audit_skb_queue has a room.

If signal_pending() is true this becomes a busy-wait loop,
schedule() in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE won't block.
