Hi Linus, I realize this is a little early, but my network access is expected to be a little spotty the first half of next week so I wanted to get the Linux v6.8 pull requests out now. The audit PR is a fairly minor one with only two patches:
* Send an audit ACK to userspace immediately upon receiving an auditd registration event as opposed to waiting until the registration has been fully processed and the audit backlog starts filling the netlink buffers. Sending the ACK earlier, as done in this PR, is still safe as the operation should not fail at the point when the ACK is done, and doing so helps avoid the ACK being dropped in extreme situations. * Update the audit MAINTAINERS entry with additional information. There isn't anything in this update that should be new to regular contributors or list subscribers, but I'm pushing to start documenting our processes, conventions, etc. and this seems like an important part of that.
