Subject: [PATCH man-pages 3/4] process_madvise.2: CAP_SYS_ADMIN cleanup
Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2022 10:55:22 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221017175523.2048887-4-zokeefe@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221017175523.2048887-1-zokeefe@google.com>
From: Zach O'Keefe <zokeefe@google.com>
Since commit 96cfe2c0fd23 ("mm/madvise: replace ptrace attach
requirement for process_madvise"), process_madvise(2) has only
required CAP_SYS_NICE capability. Update the man page to reflect this.
