From 01a16b21d6adf992aa863186c3c4e561a57c1714 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick McHardy Date: Thu, 3 Mar 2011 13:32:07 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] netlink: kill eff_cap from struct netlink_skb_parms Netlink message processing in the kernel is synchronous these days, capabilities can be checked directly in security_netlink_recv() from the current process.
