[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 <dustin.kirkland@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
