From d1b333d12cde9cabe898160b6be9769d3382d81c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jike Song Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2017 16:52:03 +0800 Subject: vfio iommu type1: fix the testing of capability for remote task Before the mdev enhancement type1 iommu used capable() to test the capability of current task; in the course of mdev development a new requirement, testing for another task other than current, was raised. ns_capable() was used for this purpose, however it still tests current, the only difference is, in a specified namespace. Fix it by using has_capability() instead, which tests the cap for specified task in init_user_ns, the same namespace as capable().
