https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99911 Bug ID: 99911 Summary: ioperm is kept on fork Product: Documentation Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: man-pages Assignee: documentation_man-pages@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: alexhenrie24@xxxxxxxxx Regression: No Created attachment 179851 --> https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=179851&action=edit fork-and-beep test program `man ioperm` currently states "Permissions are not inherited by the child created by fork(2); following a fork(2) the child must turn on those permissions that it needs." This is not true. I do not know if it was true at some point in the past, but ioperm is preserved across a fork at least as far back as Linux 2.6.26. A test program to demonstrate this behavior is attached. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
