From c5c351088ae76b46ae08dec1bb7f621e0721c78b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gao feng Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2013 16:30:57 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] netns: fdb: allow unprivileged users to add/del fdb entries Right now,only ixgdb,macvlan,vxlan and bridge implement fdb_add/fdb_del operations. these operations only operate the private data of net device. So allowing the unprivileged users who creates the userns and netns to add/del fdb entries will do no harm to other netns. Signed-off-by: Gao feng Signed-off-by: David S.
