    Subject[PATCH resend] audit: fix mark refcounting
    Date
    I think this should go into 3.2 (and stable).

    Please apply.

    Thanks,
    Miklos

    Subject: audit: fix mark refcounting

    Removing the parent of a watched file results in "kernel BUG at
    fs/notify/mark.c:139".

    To reproduce

    add "-w /tmp/audit/dir/watched_file" to audit.rules
    rm -rf /tmp/audit/dir

    This is caused by fsnotify_destroy_mark() being called without an
    extra reference taken by the caller.
