[PATCH 3/7] audit: do not get and put just to free a watch

Eric Paris eparis at redhat.com
Fri Jun 12 20:32:10 UTC 2009


deleting audit watch rules is not currently done under audit_filter_mutex.
It was done this way because we could not hold the mutex during inotify
manipulation.  Since we are using fsnotify we don't need to do the extra
get/put pair nor do we need the private list on which to store the parents
while they are about to be freed.
