Subject: [PATCH 2/8] io_uring: allow SQPOLL with CAP_SYS_NICE privileges
Date: Wed,  2 Sep 2020 20:20:47 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <[email protected]>

CAP_SYS_ADMIN is too restrictive for a lot of uses cases, allow
CAP_SYS_NICE based on the premise that such users are already allowed
to raise the priority of tasks.
