multipart messages & delivery guarantees

Hi,

Some events, such as execve or socket-related syscalls generate more than one message, which I'll separate as the "main" message, and then the 'sub' messages.

Does the audit system guarantee in any way that user-mode will receive either no message, or all messages for a given event ?

I'm curious to know if for example I could get an execve syscall message, but no cwd message, for example in case of low-memory condition.

Thanks,

Hassan

If a syscall cannot be audited, the syscall has to fail.

I suppose it depends on where in the processing an error occurs. Some failure modes if selected cause a system panic. You'll probably want to look through the kernel source code to be sure.
