[PATCH] minor audit updates
Just a few minor proposed updates. Only the last one will actually affect behavior. The rest are just misleading code. Several AUDIT_SET functions return 'old' value, but only return value <0 is checked for. So just return 0. propagate audit_set_rate_limit and audit_set_backlog_limit error values In audit_buffer_free, the audit_freelist_count was being incremented even when we discard the return buffer, so audit_freelist_count can end up wrong. This could cause the actual freelist to shrink over time, eventually threatening to degrate audit performance. Signed-off-by: Serge E.
