    audit: more filter PATH records keyed on filesystem magic · a252f56a

    Like commit 42d5e376 ("audit: filter PATH records keyed on
    filesystem magic") that addresses
    https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-kernel/issues/8
    
    Any user or remote filesystem could become unavailable and effectively
    block on a forced unmount.
    
        -a always,exit -S umount2 -F key=umount2
    
    Provide a method to ignore these user and remote filesystems to prevent
    them from being impossible to unmount.
    
    Extend the "AUDIT_FILTER_FS" filter that uses the field type
    AUDIT_FSTYPE keying off the filesystem 4-octet hexadecimal magic
    identifier to filter specific filesystems to cover audit_inode() to address
    this blockage.
    
    An example rule would look like:
        -a never,filesystem -F fstype=0x517B -F key=ignore_smb
        -a never,filesystem -F fstype=0x6969 -F key=ignore_nfs
    
    Arguably the better way to address this issue is to disable auditing
    processes that touch removable filesystems.
    
    Note: refactor __audit_inode_child() to remove two levels of if
    indentation.
