Subject: [LTP] [PATCH v3 0/2] Fix cma testing suite permissions
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 12:37:28 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261020-fix_process_vm_writev_permissions-v3-0-1e92d7a29aef@suse.com> (raw)

The cma testing suite started to fail on modern systems enabling YAMA.
Unfortunately, using CAP_PTRACE capability for users is not enough to
avoid an EPERM. For this reason, it's better to require root and fix the
whole suite in one shot.
