From ffa8e59df047d57e812a04f7d6baf6a25c652c0c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Paris Date: Fri, 1 Apr 2011 17:08:34 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] capabilities: do not drop CAP_SETPCAP from the initial task In olden' days of yore CAP_SETPCAP had special meaning for the init task. We actually have code to make sure that CAP_SETPCAP wasn't in pE of things using the init_cred. But CAP_SETPCAP isn't so special any more and we don't have a reason to special case dropping it for init or kthreads.... Signed-off-by: Eric Paris Acked-by: Andrew G.
