Subject: pipe: F_SETPIPE_SZ should return -EPERM for non-root
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0191f8697bbdfefcd36e7b8dc3eeddfe82893e4b;p=linux-beck.git

pipe: F_SETPIPE_SZ should return -EPERM for non-root

If the passed in size is larger than what has been set as the
system wide limit and the user is not root, we want to return
permission denied (not invalid value).
