Subject: [PATCH] kauditd thread API fixes
Date: Sun, 1 Oct 2006 08:30:45 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061001123045.GA29682@havoc.gtf.org> (raw)


Kill the "function should return a value" warning, and use the standard
mechanism for deciding when a thread should stop.

Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

Given the security-sensitive nature of the audit function, _perhaps_ the
omission of kthread_should_stop() was intentional.  If so, it at least
deserves a comment.  But I think this is more correct.
