From c8edc80c8b8c397c53f4f659a05b9ea6208029bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dustin Kirkland Date: Thu, 3 Nov 2005 16:12:36 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Exclude messages by message type - Add a new, 5th filter called "exclude". - And add a new field AUDIT_MSGTYPE. - Define a new function audit_filter_exclude() that takes a message type as input and examines all rules in the filter. It returns '1' if the message is to be excluded, and '0' otherwise. - Call the audit_filter_exclude() function near the top of audit_log_start() just after asserting audit_initialized. If the message type is not to be audited, return NULL very early, before doing a lot of work. [combined with followup fix for bug in original patch, Nov 4, same author] [combined with later renaming AUDIT_FILTER_EXCLUDE->AUDIT_FILTER_TYPE and audit_filter_exclude() -> audit_filter_type()] Signed-off-by: Dustin Kirkland Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse Signed-off-by: Al Viro --- kernel/audit.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) (limited to 'kernel/audit.c') diff --git a/kernel/audit.c b/kernel/audit.c index 6d61dd79a60..1c3eb1b12bf 100644 --- a/kernel/audit.c +++ b/kernel/audit.c @@ -702,6 +702,9 @@ struct audit_buffer *audit_log_start(struct audit_context *ctx, gfp_t gfp_mask, if (!audit_initialized) return NULL; + if (unlikely(audit_filter_type(type))) + return NULL; + if (gfp_mask & __GFP_WAIT) reserve = 0; else -- cgit v1.2.3
