Ok in further testing using ausearch as you proposed, it turned out that
also dm_log_audit_target()
is called in ioctl context and the DM_EVENTs
are accompanied by a SYSCALL record. So it seems that we
can completely
drop it from the dm_audit_log_ti() function.

No there isn't.

Further, I have encountered some other quirks, which I will fix in v5.
The dtr is called internally
on error in ctr, which results in the same
audit log serial of a ctr followed by a dtr event.
And I
missed to synchronize the audit log in dm-integrity.c, which results in
duplicate events logged by
the worker threads.

Thanks for the hint with ausearch. For our use case we do not depend on the
userspace part of linux-audit and I used that only for testing, and obviously
missed some conventions
there.

I think about to rename the error_msg field to reason and to pre-process the
string with strreplace()
to replace spaces by '-' instead of directly logging
error_msg= as quoted String. What do you guys think about this?

I also will run the test suit linked in Steve's wiki to be sure not to break
userspace part of linux-audit before I submit v5.
