I'm sorry, I responded too quickly without thinking about your question,
my mistake. It isn't the prototype that was changed in the
CONFIG_SYSCALL case that is relevant in that case.
There was already in existance in the !CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL case the
inline wrapper to do that job:
static inline void audit_fanotify(u32 response, struct
fanotify_response_info_audit_rule *friar)
{ }
Did I understand correctly this time and does this answer your question?
But you do cause me to notice the case that these notifications will be
dropped when CONFIG_AUDIT && !CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL.
Thanks for persisting.
