[PATCH 2/2] blk-zoned: allow BLKREPORTZONE without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
From: Niklas Cassel
Date: Mon May 31 2021 - 10:42:02 EST
From: Niklas Cassel <niklas.cassel@xxxxxxx>
Performing a BLKREPORTZONE operation should be allowed under the same
permissions as read(). (read() does not require CAP_SYS_ADMIN).
Remove the CAP_SYS_ADMIN requirement, and instead check that the fd was
successfully opened with FMODE_READ. This way BLKREPORTZONE will match
the access control requirement of read().
