Niklas Cassel 2edc06fa38 blk-zoned: allow BLKREPORTZONE without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
commit 4d643b66089591b4769bcdb6fd1bfeff2fe301b8 upstream.

A user space process should not need the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability set
in order to perform a BLKREPORTZONE ioctl.

Getting the zone report is required in order to get the write pointer.
Neither read() nor write() requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN, so it is reasonable
that a user space process that can read/write from/to the device, also
can get the write pointer. (Since e.g. writes have to be at the write
pointer.)

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
