Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/2] net: devmem: allow bind-rx from non-init user namespaces
Date: Mon, 01 Jun 2026 12:24:26 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260601-nl-prov-v1-0-9bc57d6ca3f3@meta.com> (raw)

NETDEV_CMD_BIND_RX is GENL_ADMIN_PERM, which checks CAP_NET_ADMIN
against init_user_ns. With netkit and netns support for devmem, it is
now useful to let workloads holding CAP_NET_ADMIN only in their own
user_ns issue bind-rx for a netns owned by that user_ns.

The first patch switches the flag to GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM so the check uses
the target netns's owning user_ns. Init remains permitted.

The second patch just adds test cases. They are identical to
nk_devmem.py tests, but using a non-init userns.
