This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled net: Add variants of capable for use on on sockets to the linux-3.11.y-queue branch of the 3.11.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.11.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.11.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 6bb160c6ed6126e7cd3aa1b09e089164adbfc000 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com> Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2014 14:26:56 -0700 Subject: net: Add variants of capable for use on on sockets commit a3b299da869d6e78cf42ae0b1b41797bcb8c5e4b upstream. sk_net_capable - The common case, operations that are safe in a network namespace. sk_capable - Operations that are not known to be safe in a network namespace sk_ns_capable - The general case for special cases.
