Linux kernel source tree

CAP_NET_ADMIN is and should continue to be about configuring the system as a whole, not about configuring per-socket or per-packet parameters. Sending and receiving raw packets is what CAP_NET_RAW is all about. It can already send packets with any VLAN tag, and any IPv4 TOS mark, and any IPv6 TCLASS mark, simply by virtue of building such a raw packet. Not to mention using any protocol and source/ /destination ip address/port tuple. These are the fields that networking gear uses to prioritize packets. Hence, a CAP_NET_RAW process is already capable of affecting traffic prioritization after it hits the wire. This change makes it capable of affecting traffic prioritization even in the host at the nic and before that in the queueing disciplines (provided skb->priority is actually being used for prioritization, and not the TOS/TCLASS field) Hence it makes sense to allow a CAP_NET_RAW process to set the priority of sockets and thus packets it sends.

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.
