Subject: [PATCH 4.11 147/150] audit: fix the RCU locking for the auditd_connection structure
4.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Paul Moore <paul@...l-moore.com>
commit 48d0e023af9799cd7220335baf8e3ba61eeafbeb upstream.
Cong Wang correctly pointed out that the RCU read locking of the
auditd_connection struct was wrong, this patch correct this by
adopting a more traditional, and correct RCU locking model.
This patch is heavily based on an earlier prototype by Cong Wang.
