audit: more filter PATH records keyed on filesystem magic
Like commit 42d5e37654e4 ("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.
