+Subject: cgroup-v1: Require capabilities to set release_agent
+
+From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
+
+commit 24f6008564183aa120d07c03d9289519c2fe02af upstream.
+
+The cgroup release_agent is called with call_usermodehelper. The function
+call_usermodehelper starts the release_agent with a full set fo capabilities.
+Therefore require capabilities when setting the release_agaent.
