Subject: [PATCH 0/5] Overhaul the audit filename handling

This is the same patchset that was sent earlier with the RFC prefix,
the only differences are the inclusion of a reviewer and the fact that
I've stripped the RFC prefix.  I'm including this in the audit-next
branch and plan on pushing this to Linus in the next merge window.

For those of you who didn't bother looking at the RFC posting, this
patchset resolves various problems in the way audit handles filenames.
The patches rework the way audit handles filenames, removing a lot of
nasty hacks added recently, and fixing a few bugs that still remain.
Most significant to folks outside of audit, patch 5/5 does away with
the nasty getname()/putname() kludge in favor of a less ugly reference
count approach.

Paul Moore (5):
      fs: rework getname_kernel to handle up to PATH_MAX sized filenames
      fs: create proper filename objects using getname_kernel()
      audit: enable filename recording via getname_kernel()
      audit: fix filename matching in __audit_inode() and __audit_inode_child()
      audit: replace getname()/putname() hacks with reference counters
