Paolo Abeni 5591b021e0 Merge branch 'net-openvswitch-metering-and-conntrack-in-userns'
Michael Weiß says:

====================
net: openvswitch: metering and conntrack in userns

Currently using openvswitch in a non-initial user namespace, e.g., an
unprivileged container, is possible but without metering and conntrack
support. This is due to the restriction of the corresponding Netlink
interfaces to the global CAP_NET_ADMIN.

This simple patches switch from GENL_ADMIN_PERM to GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM
in several cases to allow this also for the unprivileged container
use case.

We tested this for unprivileged containers created by the container
manager of GyroidOS (gyroidos.github.io). However, for other container
managers such as LXC or systemd which provide unprivileged containers
this should be apply equally.

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.
