From 73f7ef435934e952c1d70d83d69921ea5d1f6bd4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2012 03:02:58 +0000 Subject: sysctl: Pass useful parameters to sysctl permissions - Current is implicitly avaiable so passing current->nsproxy isn't useful. - The ctl_table_header is needed to find how the sysctl table is connected to the rest of sysctl. - ctl_table_root is avaiable in the ctl_table_header so no need to it. With these changes it becomes possible to write a version of net_sysctl_permission that takes into account the network namespace of the sysctl table, an important feature in extending the user namespace.
