Linus, We've only got a few audit patches for the v7.1 merge window, the highlights are below:
- Improved handling of unknown status requests from userspace The current kernel code ignores unknown/unused request bits sent from userspace and returns an error code based on the results of the request(s) it does understand. The patch from Ricardo fixes this so that unknown requests return an -EINVAL to userspace, making compatibility a bit easier moving forward. - A number of small style and formatting cleanups Paul -- The following changes since commit 6de23f81a5e08be8fbf5e8d7e9febc72a5b5f27f: Linux 7.0-rc1 (2026-02-22 13:18:59 -0800) are available in the Git repository at: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/audit.git tags/audit-pr-20260410 for you to fetch changes up to 360160f75592bdc85edba8fe78fb20d90924c7e8: audit: handle unknown status requests in audit_receive_msg() (2026-03-10 15:22:43 -0400) ---------------------------------------------------------------- audit/stable-7.1 PR 20260410 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Ricardo Robaina (4): audit: fix whitespace alignment in include/uapi/linux/audit.h audit: remove redundant initialization of static variables to 0 audit: fix coding style issues audit: handle unknown status requests in audit_receive_msg() include/linux/audit.h | 9 +++++++++ include/uapi/linux/audit.h | 8 ++++---- kernel/audit.c | 8 +++++--- kernel/auditfilter.c | 3 +-- lib/audit.c | 2 +- 5 files changed, 20 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) -- paul-moore.com
