From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: Subject: [PATCH 1/3] autofs - make disc device user accessible From: Ian Kent To: Al Viro Cc: Colin Walters , Ondrej Holy , autofs mailing list , Kernel Mailing List , David Howells , linux-fsdevel Date: Wed, 10 May 2017 12:18:38 +0800 Message-ID: <149438991819.26550.11290804420751932707.stgit@pluto.themaw.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: The autofs miscellanous device ioctls that shouldn't require CAP_SYS_ADMIN need to be accessible to user space applications in order to be able to get information about autofs mounts. The module checks capabilities so the miscelaneous device should be fine with broad permissions.
