Linus, A small set of audit changes for v6.19, the summary is below:
- Consolidate the loops in __audit_inode_child() to improve performance When logging a child inode in __audit_inode_child(), we first run through the list of recorded inodes looking for the parent and then we repeat the search looking for a matching child entry. This pull request consolidates both searches into one pass through the recorded inodes, resuling in approximately a 50% reduction in audit overhead. See the commit description for the testing details. - Combine kmalloc()/memset() into kzalloc() in audit_krule_to_data() - Comment fixes Paul -- The following changes since commit 211ddde0823f1442e4ad052a2f30f050145ccada: Linux 6.18-rc2 (2025-10-19 15:19:16 -1000) are available in the Git repository at: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/audit.git tags/audit-pr-20251201 for you to fetch changes up to c8a3dfe7315945ebcc80ed5be8267920b609649a: audit: merge loops in __audit_inode_child() (2025-11-07 16:50:42 -0500) ---------------------------------------------------------------- audit/stable-6.19 PR 20251201 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Gongwei Li (1): audit: Use kzalloc() instead of kmalloc()/memset() in audit_krule_to_data() Ricardo Robaina (2): audit: fix comment misindentation in audit.h audit: merge loops in __audit_inode_child() kernel/audit.h | 2 - kernel/auditfilter.c | 3 -- kernel/auditsc.c | 47 +++++++++++++++++++------------------------ 3 files changed, 23 insertions(+), 29 deletions(-) -- paul-moore.com
