Subject: Re: [PATCH] Fix the kernel panic of audit_filter_task when key field
is set
[PATCH] Fix the kernel panic of audit_filter_task when AUDIT_PERM or AUDIT_FILETYPE field is set
When calling audit_filter_task(), it calls audit_filter_rules() with audit_context is NULL.
If the AUDIT_PERM or AUDIT_FILETYPE field is set, audit_match_perm() or audit_match_filetype() will use ctx->xx.
But the ctx is NULL in this condition, so kernel will panic.
