[PATCH v3 2/2] sg_io: introduce unpriv_sgio queue flag

From: Paolo Bonzini
Date: Tue Nov 13 2012 - 12:35:11 EST


This queue flag will let unprivileged users send any SG_IO command to the
device, without any filtering. This makes it possible to run a program
where you want to access the full range of SCSI commands, while still
running as confined as possible. With this patch, such a program will
not need the CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability anymore, and will also not be
able to send SCSI commands to a partition (which would affect the full
disk).
