    netlink: fix compilation after memory mapped patches · 1bf9310a
    Nicolas Dichtel authored
    Depending of the kernel configuration (CONFIG_UIDGID_STRICT_TYPE_CHECKS), we can
    get the following errors:
    
    net/netlink/af_netlink.c: In function ‘netlink_queue_mmaped_skb’:
    net/netlink/af_netlink.c:663:14: error: incompatible types when assigning to type ‘__u32’ from type ‘kuid_t’
    net/netlink/af_netlink.c:664:14: error: incompatible types when assigning to type ‘__u32’ from type ‘kgid_t’
    net/netlink/af_netlink.c: In function ‘netlink_ring_set_copied’:
    net/netlink/af_netlink.c:693:14: error: incompatible types when assigning to type ‘__u32’ from type ‘kuid_t’
    net/netlink/af_netlink.c:694:14: error: incompatible types when assigning to type ‘__u32’ from type ‘kgid_t’
    
    We must use the helpers to get the uid and gid, and also take care of user_ns.
    
    Fix suggested by Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>.
