From 48bb09eee4e102544808c00f43bc40a4a2e43e50 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alex Williamson Date: Wed, 12 May 2010 09:46:31 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: remove CAP_SYS_RAWIO requirement from kvm_vm_ioctl_assign_irq Remove this check in an effort to allow kvm guests to run without root privileges. This capability check doesn't seem to add any security since the device needs to have already been added via the assign device ioctl and the io actually occurs through the pci sysfs interface.
