Subject: BTRFS_IOC_TRANS_START should be privilegued
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=df5b5520b21d8a2554ede65c09b288833c77144d;p=linux-beck.git

BTRFS_IOC_TRANS_START should be privilegued

As mentioned in the comment next to it btrfs_ioctl_trans_start can
do bad damage to filesystems and thus should be limited to privilegued
users.
