> This reverts commit 1f86123b9749 ("net: align SO_RCVMARK required
> privileges with SO_MARK") because the reasoning in the commit message
> is not really correct:
>   SO_RCVMARK is used for 'reading' incoming skb mark (via cmsg), as such
>   it is more equivalent to 'getsockopt(SO_MARK)' which has no priv check
>   and retrieves the socket mark, rather than 'setsockopt(SO_MARK) which
>   sets the socket mark and does require privs.
> 
>   Additionally incoming skb->mark may already be visible if
>   sysctl_fwmark_reflect and/or sysctl_tcp_fwmark_accept are enabled.
> 
>   Furthermore, it is easier to block the getsockopt via bpf
>   (either cgroup setsockopt hook, or via syscall filters)
>   then to unblock it if it requires CAP_NET_RAW/ADMIN.
> 
> On Android the socket mark is (among other things) used to store
> the network identifier a socket is bound to.  Setting it is privileged,
> but retrieving it is not.  We'd like unprivileged userspace to be able
> to read the network id of incoming packets (where mark is set via
> iptables [to be moved to bpf])...
> 
> An alternative would be to add another sysctl to control whether
> setting SO_RCVMARK is privilged or not.
> (or even a MASK of which bits in the mark can be exposed)
> But this seems like over-engineering...
> 
> Note: This is a non-trivial revert, due to later merged commit e42c7beee71d
> ("bpf: net: Consider has_current_bpf_ctx() when testing capable() in sk_setsockopt()")
> which changed both 'ns_capable' into 'sockopt_ns_capable' calls.
