+Subject: net: Use ns_capable_noaudit() when determining net sysctl permissions
+
+From: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@canonical.com>
+
+commit d6e0d306449bcb5fa3c80e7a3edf11d45abf9ae9 upstream.
+
+The capability check should not be audited since it is only being used
+to determine the inode permissions. A failed check does not indicate a
+violation of security policy but, when an LSM is enabled, a denial audit
+message was being generated.
+
+The denial audit message caused confusion for some application authors
+because root-running Go applications always triggered the denial. To
+prevent this confusion, the capability check in net_ctl_permissions() is
+switched to the noaudit variant.
