[RFC] PCI: sysfs: add bypass for config read admin check

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: David Stevens <stevensd@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add a moduleparam that can be set to bypass the check that limits users
without CAP_SYS_ADMIN to only being able to read the first 64 bytes of
the config space. This allows systems without problematic hardware to be
configured to allow users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN to read PCI
capabilities.
