When an admin enables audit at early boot via the "audit=1" kernel command line, netlink send errors seen will cause the audit subsystem to drop some records or return records to the queue. And all records will be printed via printk() in the kauditd_hold_skb(), but actually only the records that will be dropped need to be printed via printk().
