Note that we don't require CAP_SYS_ADMIN for reading attributes even though the ioctl does. There is no reason to limit the read access, and much of the information is already available via /proc/mdstat Cc: Chris Wright Signed-off-by: Neil Brown Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
