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


  also for function audit_list:
    when call audit_make_reply fails (will return NULL).
    we need free all its related variables instead of only kfree rull.
      (such as call autit_free_rule)

  please help check, thanks.
