Hi Linus,
After the small number of patches for v4.9, we've got a much bigger pile for
v4.10.
The bulk of these patches involve a rework of the audit backlog queue to
enable us to move the netlink multicasting out of the task/thread that
generates the audit record and into the kernel thread that emits the record
(just like we do for the audit unicast to auditd). While we were playing
with the backlog queue(s) we fixed a number of other little problems with
the code, and from all the testing so far things look to be in much better
shape now. Doing this also allowed us to re-enable disabling IRQs for some
netns operations ("netns: avoid disabling irq for netns id"). The remaining
patches fix some small problems that are well documented in the commit
descriptions, as well as adding session ID filtering support.
You will likely hit two merge conflicts, one in net/core/net_namespace.c and
one in include/uapi/linux/audit.h, both are easily resolved so I won't
bother you with that here. If you have questions, you know how to find me.
Thanks,
-Paul
