I'll hope you're saying both "fail", in which case fE does not exist in cpu_vfs_cap_data. We only get fI and fP. Why in the world does setcap allow setting fE? V1 does not use fE. In my newer attempt, I seemed to have worked with zeroed field that I assumed was filled in. I will just do pE' = pP' Ok? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
