Subject: cxgb3: Use CAP_SYS_RAWIO for firmware
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26-rc2~23^2~2^2~2
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1b3aa7afb60d34867eea5e73ee943b2a026fc47c;p=linux-2.6

cxgb3: Use CAP_SYS_RAWIO for firmware

Otherwise theoretically at least

	CAP_NET_ADMIN
	Reload new firmware
	Wait..
	Firmware patches kernel

So it should be CAY_SYS_RAWIO - not that I suspect this is in fact a
credible attack vector!
