Subject: pipe: change the privilege required for growing a pipe beyond system max
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=419f8367ea37e5adc5d95479e8fd5554b92b49fe;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

pipe: change the privilege required for growing a pipe beyond system max

Change it to CAP_SYS_RESOURCE, as that more accurately models what
we want to control.
