From 29237d22bc45d340792be217f40fb728ca48b6e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans Wippel Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2020 01:04:46 +0100 Subject: net/smc: allow unprivileged users to read pnet table The current flags of the SMC_PNET_GET command only allow privileged users to retrieve entries from the pnet table via netlink. The content of the pnet table may be useful for all users though, e.g., for debugging smc connection problems. This patch removes the GENL_ADMIN_PERM flag so that unprivileged users can read the pnet table. Signed-off-by: Hans Wippel Signed-off-by: David S.
