Subject: [PATCH v7 6/7] xfs: add capable check to free eofblocks ioctl
Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2013 23:07:05 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130729230705.128e4509@oracle.com> (raw)

Check for CAP_SYS_ADMIN since the caller can truncate preallocated
blocks from files they do not own nor have write access to. A more
fine grained access check was considered: require the caller to
specify their own uid/gid and to use inode_permission to check for
write, but this would not catch the case of an inode not reachable
via path traversal from the callers mount namespace.

Add check for read-only filesystem to free eofblocks ioctl.
