In audit_data_to_entry() when a failure occurs we must check and free
the tree and watch to avoid a memory leak.
test:
plan:
test command:
"auditctl -a exit,always -w /etc -F auid=-1"
(on fedora17, need modify auditctl to let "-w /etc" has effect)
running:
under fedora17 x86_64, 2 CPUs 3.20GHz, 2.5GB RAM.
let 15 auditctl processes continue running at the same time.
monitor command:
watch -d -n 1 "cat /proc/meminfo | awk '{print \$2}' \
| head -n 4 | xargs \
| awk '{print \"used \",\$1 - \$2 - \$3 - \$4}'"
result:
for original version:
will use up all memory, within 3 hours.
kill all auditctl, the memory still does not free.
for new version (apply this patch):
after 14 hours later, not find issues.
