Subject: [PATCH v5 4/5] Capability: Complete PTRACE_MODE_SCHED
Date:   Wed, 26 Sep 2018 13:34:45 -0700
Message-Id: <20180926203446.2004-5-casey.schaufler@intel.com>
In-Reply-To: <20180926203446.2004-1-casey.schaufler@intel.com>
References: <20180926203446.2004-1-casey.schaufler@intel.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

From: Casey Schaufler <casey@schaufler-ca.com>

Allow a complete ptrace access check with mode PTRACE_MODE_SCHED.
Disable the inappropriate privilege check in the capability code
that does incompatible locking.
