sched: psi: fix unprivileged polling against cgroups
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 8b39d20 upstream.

519fabc ("psi: remove 500ms min window size limitation for
triggers") breaks unprivileged psi polling on cgroups.

Historically, we had a privilege check for polling in the open() of a
pressure file in /proc, but were erroneously missing it for the open()
of cgroup pressure files.

When unprivileged polling was introduced in d82caa2 ("sched/psi:
Allow unprivileged polling of N*2s period"), it needed to filter
privileges depending on the exact polling parameters, and as such
moved the CAP_SYS_RESOURCE check from the proc open() callback to
psi_trigger_create(). Both the proc files as well as cgroup files go
through this during write(). This implicitly added the missing check
for privileges required for HT polling for cgroups.

When 519fabc ("psi: remove 500ms min window size limitation for
triggers") followed right after to remove further restrictions on the
RT polling window, it incorrectly assumed the cgroup privilege check
was still missing and added it to the cgroup open(), mirroring what we
used to do for proc files in the past.

As a result, unprivileged poll requests that would be supported now
get rejected when opening the cgroup pressure file for writing.

Remove the cgroup open() check. psi_trigger_create() handles it.

Fixes: 519fabc ("psi: remove 500ms min window size limitation for triggers")
