net: Push capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) into the rtnl methods

2012-11-19T01:32:44+00:00

- In rtnetlink_rcv_msg convert the capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) check
  to ns_capable(net->user-ns, CAP_NET_ADMIN).  Allowing unprivileged
  users to make netlink calls to modify their local network
  namespace.

- In the rtnetlink doit methods add capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) so
  that calls that are not safe for unprivileged users are still
  protected.

Later patches will remove the extra capable calls from methods
that are safe for unprivilged users.

netlink: Rename pid to portid to avoid confusion

2012-09-10T19:30:41+00:00

It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a
process identifier.  Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields
that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid.

I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to
userspace to avoid changing the userspace API.

I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change.

net: Convert all sysctl registrations to register_net_sysctl

2012-04-21T01:22:30+00:00

This results in code with less boiler plate that is a bit easier
to read.

Additionally stops us from using compatibility code in the sysctl
core, hastening the day when the compatibility code can be removed.

net: Move all of the network sysctls without a namespace into init_net.

2012-04-21T01:21:17+00:00

This makes it clearer which sysctls are relative to your current network
namespace.

This makes it a little less error prone by not exposing sysctls for the
initial network namespace in other namespaces.

This is the same way we handle all of our other network interfaces to
userspace and I can't honestly remember why we didn't do this for
sysctls right from the start.
