revert "net: align SO_RCVMARK required privileges with SO_MARK"
This reverts commit 1f86123b ("net: align SO_RCVMARK required privileges with SO_MARK") because the reasoning in the commit message is not really correct: SO_RCVMARK is used for 'reading' incoming skb mark (via cmsg), as such it is more equivalent to 'getsockopt(SO_MARK)' which has no priv check and retrieves the socket mark, rather than 'setsockopt(SO_MARK) which sets the socket mark and does require privs. Additionally incoming skb->mark may already be visible if sysctl_fwmark_reflect and/or sysctl_tcp_fwmark_accept are enabled. Furthermore, it is easier to block the getsockopt via bpf (either cgroup setsockopt hook, or via syscall filters) then to unblock it if it requires CAP_NET_RAW/ADMIN. On Android the socket mark is (among other things) used to store the network identifier a socket is bound to. Setting it is privileged, but retrieving it is not. We'd like unprivileged userspace to be able to read the network id of incoming packets (where mark is set via iptables [to be moved to bpf])... An alternative would be to add another sysctl to control whether setting SO_RCVMARK is privilged or not. (or even a MASK of which bits in the mark can be exposed) But this seems like over-engineering... Note: This is a non-trivial revert, due to later merged commit e42c7bee ("bpf: net: Consider has_current_bpf_ctx() when testing capable() in sk_setsockopt()") which changed both 'ns_capable' into 'sockopt_ns_capable' calls.
