Subject: [PATCH] sg_io: allow UNMAP and WRITE SAME without CAP_SYS_RAWIO
Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2012 18:30:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1342801801-15617-1-git-send-email-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)

These commands cannot be issued right now without giving CAP_SYS_RAWIO to
the process who wishes to send them.  These commands can be useful also to
non-privileged programs who have access to the block devices.  For example
a virtual machine monitor needs them to forward trim/discard to host disks.
