From 8da0b4f692c6d90b09c91f271517db746a22ff67 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin Gordon Date: Thu, 3 Jan 2019 15:25:56 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] fs/proc/base.c: use ns_capable instead of capable for timerslack_ns Access to timerslack_ns is controlled by a process having CAP_SYS_NICE in its effective capability set, but the current check looks in the root namespace instead of the process' user namespace. Since a process is allowed to do other activities controlled by CAP_SYS_NICE inside a namespace, it should also be able to adjust timerslack_ns.
