Btw, the calling conventions here also seems fairly ugly.
Instead of the optional dentry parameter I'd have a audit_copy_inode that takes just the name and the inode, and an optional direct call to audit_copy_fcaps for those callers that have a dentry. That would also allow removing the branch for the dentry == NULL case in audit_copy_fcaps.
