  can we add it in audit_free_rule ?

  maybe like this:

@@ -75,6 +75,8 @@ static inline void audit_free_rule(struct audit_entry *e)
 	/* some rules don't have associated watches */
 	if (erule->watch)
 		audit_put_watch(erule->watch);
+	if (erule->tree)
+		audit_put_tree(erule->tree);
 	if (erule->fields)
 		for (i = 0; i < erule->field_count; i++) {
 			struct audit_field *f = &erule->fields[i];


  thanks.
