The reason was that privileges were only verified for RTM_SETDCB messages, but the value that determined the action to be taken is the command, not the message type. And validation of message type against the DCB command was the obvious missing piece. Unfortunately it turns out that mlnx_qos, a somewhat widely deployed tool for configuration of DCB, accesses the DCB set-like APIs through RTM_GETDCB. Therefore do not bounce the discrepancy between message type and command. Instead, in addition to validating privileges based on the actual message type, validate them also based on the expected message type. This closes the loophole of allowing DCB configuration on non-admin accounts, while maintaining backward compatibility.
