[PATCH 3.14 026/122] audit: keep inode pinned

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Nov 19 2014 - 17:06:32 EST


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

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

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx>

commit 799b601451b21ebe7af0e6e8f6e2ccd4683c5064 upstream.

Audit rules disappear when an inode they watch is evicted from the cache.
This is likely not what we want.

The guilty commit is "fsnotify: allow marks to not pin inodes in core",
which didn't take into account that audit_tree adds watches with a zero
mask.

Adding any mask should fix this.
