From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx>
This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.
===============
commit 799b601451b21ebe7af0e6e8f6e2ccd4683c5064 upstream.
Audit rules disappear when an inode they watch is evicted from the cache.
This is likely not what we want.
The guilty commit is "fsnotify: allow marks to not pin inodes in core",
which didn't take into account that audit_tree adds watches with a zero
mask.
Adding any mask should fix this.
