DESCRIPTION

15       audit_set_backlog_limit sets the queue length for audit events awaiting
16       transfer to the audit daemon. The default value is 64 which can  poten‐
17       tially  be  overrun  by  bursts  of activity. When the backlog limit is
18       reached, the kernel consults the failure_flag to  see  what  action  to
19       take.
