[REVIEW][PATCH 6/6] fs: Allow CAP_SYS_ADMIN in s_user_ns to freeze and thaw filesystems
From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Wed May 23 2018 - 18:34:14 EST
From: Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The user in control of a super block should be allowed to freeze
and thaw it. Relax the restrictions on the FIFREEZE and FITHAW
ioctls to require CAP_SYS_ADMIN in s_user_ns.
