[PATCH] Before clearing the capability bounding set, check if we have the cap
From: Harald Hoyer <harald@...> PR_CAPBSET_DROP can return EINVAL, if an older kernel does support some capabilities, which are defined by CAP_LAST_CAP, which results in a failure of the service. For example kernel 3.4 errors on CAP_EPOLLWAKEUP, which was newly introduced in 3.5. So, for future capabilities, we clear until we get an EINVAL for PR_CAPBSET_READ. --- support/nsm/file.c | 2 +- utils/nfsdcld/nfsdcld.c | 4 ++-- 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/support/nsm/file.c b/support/nsm/file.c index 5476446..4711c2c 100644 --- a/support/nsm/file.c +++ b/support/nsm/file.c <at> <at> -386,7 +386,7 <at> <at> prune_bounding_set(void) } /* prune the bounding set to nothing */ - for (i = 0; i <= CAP_LAST_CAP; ++i) { + for (i = 0; prctl(PR_CAPBSET_READ, i, 0, 0, 0) >=0 ; ++i) { ret = prctl(PR_CAPBSET_DROP, i, 0, 0, 0); if (ret) { xlog(L_ERROR, "Unable to prune capability %lu from " diff --git a/utils/nfsdcld/nfsdcld.c b/utils/nfsdcld/nfsdcld.c(Continue reading)
