From 01478d7d60f654419ba863856cad0446bcb73a59 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Guy Briggs Date: Fri, 13 Jun 2014 18:22:00 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] audit: use atomic_t to simplify audit_serial() Since there is already a primitive to do this operation in the atomic_t, use it to simplify audit_serial().
