yes. is that a sufficient filter in your opinion?
Yes, the ability to create the device feels stronger than CAP_NET_RAW,
and a bit tangential to CAP_NET_ADMIN. But I don't have much practical
experience with virt so no strong opinion, perhaps it does make sense
for someone's deployment? Dunno..
I'm not sure CAP_NET_ADMIN should be required for creating the VDUSE
devices, as the device could be attached to vhost-vDPA and so not
visible to the Kernel networking stack.
However, CAP_NET_ADMIN should be required to attach the VDUSE device to
virtio-vdpa/virtio-net.
Does that make sense?
