From ab0fa82b2df96ddadb327ac39f26b5d80cb3d104 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2016 12:00:21 -0700 Subject: pci-sysfs: use proper file capability helper function The PCI config access checked the file capabilities correctly, but used the itnernal security capability check rather than the helper function that is actually meant for that. The security_capable() has unusual return values and is not meant to be used elsewhere (the only other use is in the capability checking functions that we actually intend people to use, and this odd PCI usage really stood out when looking around the capability code.
