Biederman" <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2014 14:28:03 -0700 Subject: net: Add variants of capable for use on netlink messages From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit aa4cf9452f469f16cea8c96283b641b4576d4a7b ] netlink_net_capable - The common case use, for operations that are safe on a network namespace netlink_capable - For operations that are only known to be safe for the global root netlink_ns_capable - The general case of capable used to handle special cases __netlink_ns_capable - Same as netlink_ns_capable except taking a netlink_skb_parms instead of the skbuff of a netlink message.
