Subject: [PATCH] blk-zoned: allow zone management send operations without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
Git-commit: ead3b768bb51259e3a5f2287ff5fc9041eb6f450
Patch-mainline: v5.15-rc1
References: stable-5.14.6
commit ead3b768bb51259e3a5f2287ff5fc9041eb6f450 upstream.
Zone management send operations (BLKRESETZONE, BLKOPENZONE, BLKCLOSEZONE
and BLKFINISHZONE) should be allowed under the same permissions as write().
(write() does not require CAP_SYS_ADMIN).
Additionally, other ioctls like BLKSECDISCARD and BLKZEROOUT only check if
the fd was successfully opened with FMODE_WRITE.
(They do not require CAP_SYS_ADMIN).
Currently, zone management send operations require both CAP_SYS_ADMIN
and that the fd was successfully opened with FMODE_WRITE.
Remove the CAP_SYS_ADMIN requirement, so that zone management send
operations match the access control requirement of write(), BLKSECDISCARD
and BLKZEROOUT.
