Subject: [PATCH] doc: add capability to access physical addresses
Date: Sun, 15 Jan 2023 01:58:02 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230114225802.136625-1-dmitry.kozliuk@gmail.com> (raw)
CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE capability is required to access /proc/self/pagemap,
but it was missing from the Linux guide, causing issues for users.
Fixes: 979bb5d493fb ("doc: add more instructions for running as non-root")

If the driver requires using physical addresses (PA),
the executable file must be granted additional capabilities:
-* ``SYS_ADMIN`` to read ``/proc/self/pagemaps``
+* ``CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE`` and ``SYS_ADMIN`` to read ``/proc/self/pagemaps``
* ``IPC_LOCK`` to lock hugepages in memory
