| |
By default, if the opener has CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE, a kernfs file can be opened regardless of RW permissions. Writing to a kernfs file will thus succeed even if permissions are 0000.
We would like to restrict the actions that can be performed on a resource group from userspace based on the mode of the resource group. This restriction will be done through a modification of the file permissions. That is, for example, if a resource group is locked then the user cannot add tasks to the resource group.
For this restriction through file permissions to work we have to ensure that the permissions are always respected. To do so the resctrl filesystem is created with the KERNFS_ROOT_EXTRA_OPEN_PERM_CHECK flag that will result in open(2) failing with -EACCESS regardless of CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE if the permission does not have the respective read or write access.
