[PATCH 3.12 008/107] audit: reset audit backlog wait time after error recovery

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Feb 11 2014 - 15:19:21 EST


3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit e789e561a50de0aaa8c695662d97aaa5eac9d55f upstream.

When the audit queue overflows and times out (audit_backlog_wait_time), the
audit queue overflow timeout is set to zero. Once the audit queue overflow
timeout condition recovers, the timeout should be reset to the original value.
