From 76f7e9ddee5c0da82d2ecec51312047d7b38c015 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ricardo Robaina Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 11:14:23 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] audit: drop BUG_ON() from audit_add_to_parent() The BUG_ON(!mutex_is_locked(&audit_filter_mutex)) check in audit_add_to_parent() will panic the kernel if the mutex is not held, which is too severe for this situation. Replace it with lockdep_assert_held(), instead.
