However, before capabilities the privilege to call these did in fact depend upon fsuid==0. This patch introduces those capabilities into the fsmask, restoring the old behavior. See the thread starting at http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/11/157 for reference. Note that if this fix is deemed valid, then earlier kernel versions (2.4 and 2.2) ought to be fixed too.
