Changes from v1: * Move audit_inode() to the beginning of O_CREAT case in lookup_open() to avoid missing audit for ROFS error. This lack is spotted by Jeff Layton <jeff.layton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 33e2208acfc1 audit: vfs: fix audit_inode call in O_CREAT case of do_last fix a regression in auditing of open(..., O_CREAT) syscalls but introduce a new problem which lead the records of write operation confusion. This error can be reproduced by these steps: touch /etc/test echo "-w /etc/test" >>/etc/audit/audit.rules /etc/init.d/auditd restart echo "abc" >> /etc/test audit_name records are: type=PATH msg=audit(1409764556.196:67): item=0 name="/etc/" inode=5097 dev=00:01 mode=040755 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 nametype=PARENT type=PATH msg=audit(1409764556.196:67): item=1 name=(null) inode=23161 dev=00:01 mode=0100644 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 nametype=NORMAL type=PATH msg=audit(1409764556.196:67): item=2 name=(null) inode=23161 dev=00:01 mode=0100644 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 nametype=NORMAL but if we revert commit 33e2208acfc1, records are correct: type=PATH msg=audit(1409763058.192:219): item=0 name="/etc/test" inode=1275 dev=00:01 mode=0100644 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 nametype=NORMAL We shouldn't leave audit_inode(.., LOOKUP_PARENT) in O_CREAT case of do_last() because this branch don't really know if vfs need to create a new file. There is no need to do vfs_create() if we open an existing file with O_CREAT flag and write to it. But this audit_inode() in O_CREAT case will record a msg as we create a new file and confuse the records of write. This patch moves the audit for create operation to where a file really need to be created, the O_CREAT case in lookup_open(). We have to add the pointer of struct filename as a parameter of lookup_open(). By doing this, the records of both create and write are correct.
