Michael Weiß 016e3531d5 l2tp: Allow management of tunnels and session in user namespace
[ Upstream commit 2abe05234f2e892728c388169631e4b99f354c86 ]

Creation and management of L2TPv3 tunnels and session through netlink
requires CAP_NET_ADMIN. However, a process with CAP_NET_ADMIN in a
non-initial user namespace gets an EPERM due to the use of the
genetlink GENL_ADMIN_PERM flag. Thus, management of L2TP VPNs inside
an unprivileged container won't work.

We replaced the GENL_ADMIN_PERM by the GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM flag
similar to other network modules which also had this problem, e.g.,
openvswitch (commit 4a92602aa1 "openvswitch: allow management from
inside user namespaces") and nl80211 (commit 5617c6cd6f "nl80211:
Allow privileged operations from user namespaces").

I tested this in the container runtime trustm3 (trustm3.github.io)
and was able to create l2tp tunnels and sessions in unpriviliged
(user namespaced) containers using a private network namespace.
For other runtimes such as docker or lxc this should work, too.

README

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.
