From 4eb0f4abfb9441849530ea19389ae57cc62c8078 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Guy Briggs Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2013 13:57:33 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] smack: call WARN_ONCE() instead of calling audit_log_start() Remove the call to audit_log() (which call audit_log_start()) and deal with the errors in the caller, logging only once if the condition is met. Calling audit_log_start() in this location makes buffer allocation and locking more complicated in the calling tree (audit_filter_user()).
