From cd4d7263d58ab98fd4dee876776e4da6c328faa3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ido Schimmel Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2023 17:43:58 +0200 Subject: genetlink: Use internal flags for multicast groups As explained in commit e03781879a0d ("drop_monitor: Require 'CAP_SYS_ADMIN' when joining "events" group"), the "flags" field in the multicast group structure reuses uAPI flags despite the field not being exposed to user space. This makes it impossible to extend its use without adding new uAPI flags, which is inappropriate for internal kernel checks. Solve this by adding internal flags (i.e., "GENL_MCAST_*") and convert the existing users to use them instead of the uAPI flags. Tested using the reproducers in commit 44ec98ea5ea9 ("psample: Require 'CAP_NET_ADMIN' when joining "packets" group") and commit e03781879a0d ("drop_monitor: Require 'CAP_SYS_ADMIN' when joining "events" group"). No functional changes intended. Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel Reviewed-by: Mat Martineau Reviewed-by: Andy Shevchenko Signed-off-by: David S.
