Remove unhelpful drop_caps() call in pasta_start_ns()
drop_caps() has a number of bugs which mean it doesn't do what you'd expect. However, even if we fixed those, the call in pasta_start_ns() doesn't do anything useful: * In the common case, we're UID 0 at this point. In this case drop_caps() doesn't accomplish anything, because even with capabilities dropped, we are still privileged. * When attaching to an existing namespace with --userns or --netns-only we might not be UID 0. In this case it's too early to drop all capabilities: we need at least CAP_NET_ADMIN to configure the tap device in the namespace. Remove this call - we will still drop capabilities a little later in sandbox(). Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
