Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2011 21:47:18 -0700 From: Maciej Żenczykowski <zenczykowski@...il.com> To: Maciej Żenczykowski <maze@...gle.com> Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org, Maciej Żenczykowski <maze@...gle.com> Subject: [PATCH] net: allow CAP_NET_RAW to setsockopt SO_PRIORITY From: Maciej Żenczykowski <maze@...gle.com> It is my belief that CAP_NET_ADMIN is and should continue to be about configuring the system as a whole, not about configuring per-socket or per-packet parameters. Sending and receiving raw packets is what CAP_NET_RAW is all about. Hence it makes sense to allow a CAP_NET_RAW process to set the priority of sockets and thus packets it sends.
