This one was committed to my audit tree which al promised to pull all of my audit tree into the vfs tree for 3.3, so if you want to take it Linus, you can add my ack as the maintainer. I'd expect to see it from Al early this week. Can't say anything about SCSI though...

Subject: [PATCH] audit: always follow va_copy() with va_end()


A call to va_copy() should always be followed by a call to va_end() in the
same function.  In kernel/autit.c::audit_log_vformat() this is not always
done.  This patch makes sure va_end() is always called.
