From 5ac52f33b6f05fcb91a97124155183b779a4efdf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Wright Date: Fri, 6 May 2005 15:54:53 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] AUDIT: buffer audit msgs directly to skb Drop the use of a tmp buffer in the audit_buffer, and just buffer directly to the skb. All header data that was temporarily stored in the audit_buffer can now be stored directly in the netlink header in the skb. Resize skb as needed. This eliminates the extra copy (and the audit_log_move function which was responsible for copying).
