[PATCH -V2 07/16] richacl: Update the file masks in chmod()
From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen(a)suse.de> Doing a chmod() sets the file mode, which includes the file permission bits. When a file has a richacl, the permissions that the richacl grants need to be limited to what the new file permission bits allow. This is done by setting the file masks in the richacl to what... 2 Jul 2010 15:44

[PATCH -V2 15/16] ext4: Implement rich acl for ext4

[PATCH -V2 05/16] richacl: Permission mapping functions
From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen(a)suse.de> We need to map from POSIX permissions to NFSv4 permissions when a chmod() is done, from NFSv4 permissions to POSIX permissions when an acl is set (which implicitly sets the file permission bits), and from the MAY_READ/MAY_WRITE/MAY_EXEC/MAY_APPEND flags to NFSv4 permissi... 2 Jul 2010 15:44

[PATCH -V2 09/16] richacl: Helper functions for implementing richacl inode operations
From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen(a)suse.de> These functions are supposed to be used by file systems so that the file system independent code remains in the vfs.

[PATCH -V2 03/16] vfs: Add IS_RICHACL() test for richacl support
From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen(a)suse.de> Introduce a new MS_RICHACL super-block flag and a new IS_RICHACL() test which file systems like nfs can use.

[PATCH -V2 12/16] richacl: Automatic Inheritance
From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen(a)suse.de> Automatic Inheritance (AI) allows changes to the acl of a directory to recursively propagate down to files and directories in the directory. To implement this, the kernel keeps track of which permissions have been inherited, and makes sure that permission propagation i... 2 Jul 2010 15:44

[PATCH -V2 02/16] vfs: Add generic IS_ACL() test for acl support
From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen(a)suse.de> When IS_POSIXACL() is true, the vfs does not apply the umask. Other acl models will need the same exception, so introduce a separate IS_ACL() test. The IS_POSIX_ACL() test is still needed so that nfsd can determine when the underlying file system supports POSIX ACLs ... 2 Jul 2010 15:44
