From: Chris Wright Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2005 16:19:14 +0000 (+0100) Subject: [AUDIT] Requeue messages at head of queue, up to audit_backlog X-Git-Tag: v2.6.12-rc4~140 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=37509e749dc2072e667db806ef24b9e897f61b8a;p=linux-2.6 [AUDIT] Requeue messages at head of queue, up to audit_backlog If netlink_unicast() fails, requeue the skb back at the head of the queue it just came from, instead of the tail. And do so unless we've exceeded the audit_backlog limit; not according to some other arbitrary limit.
