This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tty: allow TIOCSLCKTRMIOS with CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE to the 6.7-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: tty-allow-tiocslcktrmios-with-cap_checkpoint_restore.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.7 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 85655386eaef056ee0c06ea7a0117c3ece7e50f0 Author: Adrian Reber <areber@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Dec 8 15:36:56 2023 +0100 tty: allow TIOCSLCKTRMIOS with CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE [ Upstream commit e0f25b8992345aa5f113da2815f5add98738c611 ] The capability CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE was introduced to allow non-root users to checkpoint and restore processes as non-root with CRIU. This change extends CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE to enable the CRIU option '--shell-job' as non-root. CRIU's man-page describes the '--shell-job' option like this: Allow one to dump shell jobs. This implies the restored task will inherit session and process group ID from the criu itself. This option also allows to migrate a single external tty connection, to migrate applications like top. TIOCSLCKTRMIOS can only be done if the process has CAP_SYS_ADMIN and this change extends it to CAP_SYS_ADMIN or CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE. With this change it is possible to checkpoint and restore processes which have a tty connection as non-root if CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is set.
