Subject: [PATCH v2] psi: allow unprivileged users with CAP_SYS_RESOURCE to write psi files
Date:   Thu, 1 Apr 2021 22:58:33 -0400
Message-ID: <20210402025833.27599-1-johunt@akamai.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain
Precedence: bulk

Currently only root can write files under /proc/pressure. Relax this to
allow tasks running as unprivileged users with CAP_SYS_RESOURCE to be
able to write to these files.
