[ Upstream commitbf29555f5b] Creating FDB entries is possible from a non-initial user namespace when having CAP_NET_ADMIN, yet, when deleting FDB entries, processes receive an EPERM because the capability is always checked against the initial user namespace. This restricts the FDB management from unprivileged containers. Drop the netlink_capable check in rtnl_fdb_del as it was originally dropped inc5c351088aand reintroduced in1690be63a2without intention. This patch was tested using a container on GyroidOS, where it was possible to delete FDB entries from an unprivileged user namespace and private network namespace.

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.
