Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Fix capabilities check
Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2026 12:29:23 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260626102934.57834-1-cem@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Carlos Maiolino <cem@kernel.org>

First patch fixes the original replacement of capable() calls in a
straight-forward way which can be backported to stable kernels in an
easy way.

Second patch lifts the capability check into xfs_trans_dqresv Christoph
suggested.

I'm working on the capabilities code to see if a helper is worth there
too. But it's worth quickly fixing this in xfs before having all the
bits in capability.c worked out.
There are also a couple other places outside xfs which likely needs
fixing. I'll include it on the next series non-xfs related.

Fixes: eba0549bc7d1 ("xfs: don't generate selinux audit messages for capability testing")
