* sysctl: allow override of /proc/sys/net with CAP_NET_ADMINStephen Hemminger2008-07-251-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend the permission check for networking sysctl's to allow modification when current process has CAP_NET_ADMIN capability and is not root. This version uses the until now unused permissions hook to override the mode value for /proc/sys/net if accessed by a user with capabilities. Found while working with Quagga. It is impossible to turn forwarding on/off through the command interface because Quagga uses secure coding practice of dropping privledges during initialization and only raising via capabilities when necessary. Since the dameon has reset real/effective uid after initialization, all attempts to access /proc/sys/net variables will fail.

* [NET]: Remove the empty net_tablePavel Emelyanov2008-01-281-4/+0
| | | | | | | | I have removed all the entries from this table (core_table, ipv4_table and tr_table), so now we can safely drop it. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [TR]: Use ctl paths to register net/token-ring/ tablePavel Emelyanov2008-01-281-8/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The same thing for token-ring - use ctl paths and get rid of external references on the tr_table. Unfortunately, I couldn't split this patch into cleanup and use-the-paths parts. As a lame excuse I can say, that the cleanup is just moving the tr_table from one file to another - closet to a single variable, that this ctl table tunes. Since the source file becomes empty after the move, I remove it. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [IPV4]: Use ctl paths to register net/ipv4/ tablePavel Emelyanov2008-01-281-8/+0
| | | | | | | | | This is the same as I did for the net/core/ table in the second patch in his series: use the paths and isolate the whole table in the .c file. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [NET]: Isolate the net/core/ sysctl tablePavel Emelyanov2008-01-281-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | Using ctl paths we can put all the stuff, related to net/core/ sysctl table, into one file and remove all the references on it. As a good side effect this hides the "core_table" name from the global scope :) Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [NET]: Implement the per network namespace sysctl infrastructureEric W. Biederman2008-01-281-0/+57
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The user interface is: register_net_sysctl_table and unregister_net_sysctl_table. Very much like the current interface except there is a network namespace parameter. With this any sysctl registered with register_net_sysctl_table will only show up to tasks in the same network namespace. All other sysctls continue to be globally visible. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+65
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
