[PATCH net-next 3/4] netns: bridge: allow unprivileged users add/delete mdb entry

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



since the mdb table is belong to bridge device,and the
bridge device can only be seen in one netns.
So it's safe to allow unprivileged user which is the
creator of userns and netns to modify the mdb table.
