That's the code you need to run down. You don't want to start getting double frees on the non-error case. I'll try to dig into it if Al doesn't. It's easy to show the leak on current kernels. > I think: it is in function audit_del_rule. when del, also set NULL. so the deletion in audit_free_rule is safe. the process of erule->watch and erule->tree are similar. please check, thanks. > while(1) > auditctl -a exit,always -w /etc -F auid=-1 > > > it is valuable to me, thanks. -- Chen Gang Asianux Corporation -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
