Subject: [PATCH] deal with deadlocks in audit_free()
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=45d9bb0e37668b7c64d1e49e98fbc4733c23b334;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

[PATCH] deal with deadlocks in audit_free()

Don't assume that audit_log_exit() et.al. are called for the context of
current; pass task explictly.
