Agreed. I still think that Milos' patch is an improvement and worth merging once the RHEL-7 are answered/resolved (your previous email). > Also, on the kernel side, we might want to consider defining those > permissions for more of the netlink socket classes, particularly the > newer ones, if/where it makes sense to do so.

Long term I think doing something similar to what was done for the individual ioctls is the best solution, but I'd be happy to accept netlink permission mapping updates in the meantime. -- paul moore www.paul-moore.com
