[side note #1: Sorry for the delay, travel/conferences have limited my time and I felt we needed to focus on the larger issue of netlink/procfs first. Back to the other topics ...] [side note #2: I just realized that one can shorten "audit container ID" to ACID, I think that's going to be my favorite realization of the day :)] My concern wasn't really about the availability of the data, since as you said, it is copied into the record buffer, but rather a delay between when the audit container ID (ACID) disappears from the tracking/list db in the kernel to when it is emitted in an audit record from the kernel. During this time is seems like it could be possible for the orchestrator to reintroduce the same ACID value and if someone is not taking into account the full audit history they could get confused (the full audit history should show the proper creation/destruction events in the correct order). Ultimately I'm not sure it is a major issue, and fixing it is likely to be really ugly, but I think it would be good to add some comments in the code regarding what we guarantee as far as ACID lifetimes are concerned. -- paul moore www.paul-moore.com
