Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] allow blk-zoned ioctls without CAP_SYS_ADMIN

From: Niklas Cassel <[email protected]>

Allow the following blk-zoned ioctls: BLKREPORTZONE, BLKRESETZONE,
BLKOPENZONE, BLKCLOSEZONE, and BLKFINISHZONE to be performed without
CAP_SYS_ADMIN.

These ioctls instead only requires that the corresponding R/W access
control flag to be successfully set on the opened file descriptor.

(open()/openat() will fail with -EPERM if you try to open a file with
flags that you lack permission for.)

blk-zoned: allow zone management send operations without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
blk-zoned: allow BLKREPORTZONE without CAP_SYS_ADMIN

Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] blk-zoned: allow zone management send operations without CAP_SYS_ADMIN

From: Niklas Cassel <[email protected]>

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.

Changes since v1:
- Pick up tag from Damien.
- Add fixes tag and CC stable.

Note to backporter:
Function was added as blkdev_reset_zones_ioctl() in v4.10.
Function was renamed to blkdev_zone_mgmt_ioctl() in v5.5.
The patch is valid both before and after the function rename.

Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] blk-zoned: allow BLKREPORTZONE without CAP_SYS_ADMIN

From: Niklas Cassel <[email protected]>

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().
