Subject: [PATCH v5 4/6] proc: allow access in init userns for map_files with CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE
Date:   Wed, 15 Jul 2020 16:49:52 +0200
Message-Id: <20200715144954.1387760-5-areber@redhat.com>
In-Reply-To: <20200715144954.1387760-1-areber@redhat.com>

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Opening files in /proc/pid/map_files when the current user is
CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE capable in the root namespace is useful for
checkpointing and restoring to recover files that are unreachable via
the file system such as deleted files, or memfd files.
