[PATCH ghak107 V1] audit: remove unused actx param from audit_rule_match

Richard Guy Briggs rgb at redhat.com
Thu Jan 31 16:52:11 UTC 2019


The audit_rule_match() struct audit_context *actx parameter is not used
by any in-tree consumers (selinux, apparmour, integrity, smack).

The audit context is an internal audit structure that should only be
accessed by audit accessor functions.

It was part of commit 03d37d25e0f9 ("LSM/Audit: Introduce > generic
Audit LSM hooks") but appears to have never been used.

Remove it.

Please see the github issue
