Subject: [PATCH bpf] bpf: exempt CAP_BPF from checks against bpf_jit_limit
Date: Wed, 22 Sep 2021 12:11:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210922111153.19843-1-lmb@cloudflare.com> (raw)

When introducing CAP_BPF, bpf_jit_charge_modmem was not changed to
treat programs with CAP_BPF as privileged for the purpose of JIT
memory allocation. This means that a program without CAP_BPF can
block a program with CAP_BPF from loading a program.

Fix this by checking bpf_capable in bpf_jit_charge_modmem.

Fixes: 2c78ee898d8f ("bpf: Implement CAP_BPF")
