From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
We *can't* call that audit garbage in RCU mode - it's doing a weird mix of allocations (GFP_NOFS, immediately followed by GFP_KERNEL) and I'm not touching that... thing again.
So if this security sclero^Whardening feature gets triggered when we are in RCU mode, tough - we'll fail with -ECHILD and have everything restarted in non-RCU mode. Only to hit the same test and fail, this time with EACCES and with (oh, rapture) an audit spew produced.
