I just finished fixing up the patchset and giving it a quick sanity test on my
system, some additional testing is still needed to verify that all the audit
stuff is still okay (I did change the __audit_inode() as discussed and bumped
the refcount in __audit_reusename()) but I think as things stand the boot
panic problems should be resolved - thanks again for your help.
I'm going to (re)post what I've currently got for a patchset and call it a
day. Tomorrow I'll add your below patch and finish up my testing, if all goes
well I'll repost the whole set. If you would prefer it to go via the VFS
tree, that's fine with me, as long as it hits Linus' tree at some point I'm
happy.
