[PATCH 1/1] cgroup: limit cgroup psi file writes to processes with CAP_SYS_RESOURCE

From: Suren Baghdasaryan
Date: Tue Feb 28 2023 - 20:47:03 EST


Currently /proc/pressure/* files can be written only by processes with
CAP_SYS_RESOURCE capability to prevent any unauthorized user from
creating psi triggers. However no such limitation is required for
per-cgroup pressure files. Fix this inconsistency by requiring the same
capability for writing per-cgroup psi files.

Fixes: 6db12ee0456d ("psi: allow unprivileged users with CAP_SYS_RESOURCE to write psi files")
