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 <ndev@hwipl.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
