stable inclusion from stable-5.10.67 commit d15554f98597d89bcae43464a2b18b665ca6acfa bugzilla: 182619 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4EWO7
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=...
--------------------------------
commit 4d643b66089591b4769bcdb6fd1bfeff2fe301b8 upstream.
A user space process should not need the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability set in order to perform a BLKREPORTZONE ioctl.
Getting the zone report is required in order to get the write pointer. Neither read() nor write() requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN, so it is reasonable that a user space process that can read/write from/to the device, also can get the write pointer. (Since e.g. writes have to be at the write pointer.)
