[PATCH 07/11] fs: Allow CAP_SYS_ADMIN in s_user_ns to freeze and thaw filesystems

From: Dongsu Park
Date: Fri Dec 22 2017 - 09:33:06 EST


From: Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The user in control of a super block should be allowed to freeze
and thaw it. Relax the restrictions on the FIFREEZE and FITHAW
ioctls to require CAP_SYS_ADMIN in s_user_ns.
