Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 7/7] selftests/vsock: test the netns assign privilege checks
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 18:15:10 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261020-vsock-guest-ns-v4-7-047527cfccfc@meta.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261020-vsock-guest-ns-v4-0-047527cfccfc@meta.com>
VSOCK_CMD_DEV_NETNS_SET refuses callers without CAP_NET_ADMIN in the
init user namespace.
Add two tests: one confirms that CAP_NET_ADMIN is required even by a
privileged user and the other confirms that CAP_NET_ADMIN in an
unprivileged user ns alone is insufficient.
CONFIG_USER_NS is needed to test the CAP_NET_ADMIN + unprivileged user
ns case.
Signed-off-by: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@meta.com>

Changes in v4:
- Require EPERM in the privilege tests, cli.py does print the errno, and
probe unshare -Urn so a setup failure skips (Sashiko)
Changes in v3:
- Require setpriv only for the ns_guest_ tests, not the whole script
Changes in v2:
- Assert only that the command fails, not EPERM: ynl's cli.py does not
report the errno (Sashiko)
- Use ynl cli.py for the assign
