From aa5bd67dcfdf9af34c7fa36ebc87d4e1f7e91873 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kacper Kornet Date: Sat, 29 Jan 2011 00:21:04 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Fix prlimit64 for suid/sgid processes Since check_prlimit_permission always fails in the case of SUID/GUID processes, such processes are not able to read or set their own limits. This commit changes this by assuming that process can always read/change its own limits.
