net: Allow userns root to control tun and tap devices
Allow an unpriviled user who has created a user namespace, and then created a network namespace to effectively use the new network namespace, by reducing capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) calls to ns_capable(net->user_ns,CAP_NET_ADMIN) calls. Allow setting of the tun iff flags. Allow creating of tun devices. Allow adding a new queue to a tun device. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com> Acked-by: Serge Hallyn <serge.hallyn@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
