From 8ac1c8d5deba65513b6a82c35e89e73996c8e0d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Konstantin Khlebnikov Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2013 15:27:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] audit: fix endless wait in audit_log_start() After commit 829199197a43 ("kernel/audit.c: avoid negative sleep durations") audit emitters will block forever if userspace daemon cannot handle backlog. After the timeout the waiting loop turns into busy loop and runs until daemon dies or returns back to work. This is a minimal patch for that bug.
