From 1560763677ffdb82504bf6504575c73d757720e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alistair Delva Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2021 18:16:55 +0000 Subject: block: Check ADMIN before NICE for IOPRIO_CLASS_RT commit 94c4b4fd25e6c3763941bdec3ad54f2204afa992 upstream. Booting to Android userspace on 5.14 or newer triggers the following SELinux denial: avc: denied { sys_nice } for comm="init" capability=23 scontext=u:r:init:s0 tcontext=u:r:init:s0 tclass=capability permissive=0 Init is PID 0 running as root, so it already has CAP_SYS_ADMIN. For better compatibility with older SEPolicy, check ADMIN before NICE.
