Subject: Re: [PATCH] kernel: auditfilter: looping issue, memory leak if has
 2 or more AUDIT_FILTERKEYs



in another function: audit_data_to_entry:

  a. has the same issue for case AUDIT_WATCH.

  b. has an new issue for AUDIT_DIR:
       after AUDIT_DIR succeed, it will set rule->tree.
       next, the other case fail, then will call audit_free_rule.
       but audit_free_rule will not free rule->tree.


  I find them only by reading code, not test them.
  and I also do not know about the related features.
  so please help check my 2 opinions whether are correct.


  welcome any suggestion or completions.

  thanks.

  :-)
