[RFC PATCH ghak100 V1 2/2] audit: moar filter PATH records keyed on filesystem magic

From: Richard Guy Briggs
Date: Fri Nov 16 2018 - 12:34:21 EST


Like 42d5e37654e4 ("audit: filter PATH records keyed on filesystem magic")

Any user or remote filesystem could become unavailable and effectively
block on a forced unmount.

-a always,exit -S umount2 -F key=umount2

Provide a method to ignore these user and remote filesystems to prevent
them from being impossible to unmount.

Extend the "AUDIT_FILTER_FS" filter that uses the field type
AUDIT_FSTYPE keying off the filesystem 4-octet hexadecimal magic
identifier to filter specific filesystems to cover audit_inode() to address
this blockage.

An example rule would look like:
-a never,filesystem -F fstype=0x517B -F key=ignore_smb
-a never,filesystem -F fstype=0x6969 -F key=ignore_nfs

Arguably the better way to address this issue is to disable auditing
processes that touch removable filesystems.
