(I'm resending this as I've been told, to CC linux-audit. I'm also adding Al Viro too.)
Is there any reason that audit_avc_path has a return value? The only two places in the kernel that it is used, the value is ignored, and when it is turned off, we get a silly warning about "statement with no effect". Even the comment above the function states that it is only used in one file.
So this patch removes the need to have a return value.
