Hi,
With 4.11.6 (that has been uploaded in debian unstable) I get a lot of
messages in dmesg like
[100052.120468] audit: audit_lost=66041 audit_rate_limit=0
audit_backlog_limit=8192
[100052.120470] audit: kauditd hold queue overflow
And it also seems that the messages are not stored in auditd logs
anymore.
https://git.kernel.org/linus/264d509637d95f9404e52ced5003ad352e0f6a26
seems
to be included in this release
An idea?

I'm going to assume that your backlog limit is set to a sane value for
your system's configuration, so that leaves me with two commits that
may be of interest:
* 1df30f8264b8 ("audit: fix the RCU locking for the auditd_connection
structure")
This was a manual backport of a v4.12 patch to v4.11, looking now, I
see it should be in +v4.11.5 so that probably isn't your problem ...
* c81be52a3ac0 ("audit: fix a race condition with the auditd tracking
code")
This patch is relatively new and was just sent up to Linus during the
next merge window; it's a race condition fix so reproducing it can be
tricky, although it may be easily reproducible on your system at the
moment (luck you!). If you aren't in a position to apply the patch,
the workaround is rather simple: restart auditd.
If none of the above works, let me know, but I strongly suspect you're
tripping over the race condition fixed in that last patch.
I didn't test the patch yet, but I restarted the auditd daemon 2 times
and
after that the queue has been flushed and I got all the message since
this
noon in the audit logs.
That sounds right; I'm guessing the patch above should be a more permanent
fix.
The patch should be applied in 4.13-rc7 right?
It seems to fix the main issue (all the audit messages being logged in
dmesg) but I can still see from time to time the following message:
[ 14.747565] audit: audit_lost=59 audit_rate_limit=0
audit_backlog_limit=64 [ 14.747566] audit: kauditd hold queue overflow
That is a very low backlog_limit. Is this during boot?
Yes that's during boot (64 is the kernel's default)
In my audit.rules I have '-b 8192'
