Kernel audit code bugs in Debian stable



Hi All,

I would like to report, that current Debian 2.6.26-2 kernel packages are unstable (soft and hard locks occur) when intensively using audit features. There are already fixes by Eric Paris and Al Viro for these bugs in mainline kernel. These patches should be included in Debian kernels as well. Otherwise Debian kernels are competely useless in cases when audit system is enabled and audit.rules are configured.

The following patch commits have to be included:
def57543418a5f47debae28a0a9dea2effc11692
8f7b0ba1c853919b85b54774775f567f30006107

As well as these two patches on top of them:
