This patchset has some important changes from the previous revision,
namely a fix from Al Viro (included in 2/5) that resolves a boot panic
on some systems as well as some smaller, less noteworthy fixes found
in the linux-next announcement thread from January 20th (refcount bump
in __audit_reusename() and a inode type in __audit_inode()).

This patchset still needs some additional testing to verify that the
audit code still functions properly (the minor fixes mentioned above)
and there is an additional patch from Al that should be included as
well, but I wanted to post this and push the series to the audit next
branch quickly since a number of folks were affected by the boot panic.

Paul Moore (5):
fs: rework getname_kernel to handle up to PATH_MAX sized filenames
fs: create proper filename objects using getname_kernel()
audit: enable filename recording via getname_kernel()
audit: fix filename matching in __audit_inode() and __audit_inode_child()
audit: replace getname()/putname() hacks with reference counters

Hi Paul,

What is the baseline for this patch set ? Obviously -next won't work,
and it does not apply to mainline either.

FWIW, I've ported that on top of vfs.git#for-next; result is in
vfs.git#experimental. Paul, are you OK with that one?

I also tested that one. Works as expected.

Thanks,
Guenter
