[02/11] [SCSI] megaraid_sas: remove sysfs poll_mode_io world writeable permissions

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Jan 26 2010 - 14:30:27 EST


2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Bryn M. Reeves <bmr@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit bb7d3f24c71e528989501617651b669fbed798cb upstream.

/sys/bus/pci/drivers/megaraid_sas/poll_mode_io defaults to being
world-writable, which seems bad (letting any user affect kernel driver
behavior).

This turns off group and user write permissions, so that on typical
production systems only root can write to it.
