[SCSI] SCSI tape: fix permissions for SG_IO, etc.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This patch is against 2.6.12-rc3 + linus-patch from April 30. The patch
contains the following fixes:

- CAP_SYS_RAWIO is used instead of CAP_SYS_ADMIN; fix from Alan Cox
- only direct sending of SCSI commands requires this permission
- the st status is modified is successful unload is performed using
  SCSI_IOCTL_STOP_UNIT
