Added Kees, as this was introduced in a51d9eaa41866ab6b4b6ecad7b621f8b66ece0dc I just realised, the funny thing about this is that the machine running that test had selinux/audit disabled. And yet here we are, screwing around with audit buffers. Should there be a test on audit_enable=0 in audit_log_link_denied() ? I'm now curious how much more of the audit code is getting run through similar lack of tests Dave -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
