[PATCH -V3 05/17] 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... 29 Jul 2010 14:05

[PATCH -V3 08/17] richacl: Permission check algorithm
From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen(a)suse.de> As in the standard POSIX file permission model, each process is the owner, group, or other file class. A process is - in the owner file class if it owns the file, - in the group file class if it is in the file's owning group or it matches any of the user or g... 29 Jul 2010 14:05

[PATCH -V3 00/17] New ACL format for better NFSv4 acl
Hi, The following set of patches implements a new acl model for linux. Rich ACLs are an implementation of NFSv4 ACLs, extended by file masks to fit into the standard POSIX file permission model. They are designed to work seamlessly locally as well as across the NFSv4 and CIFS/SMB2 network file system protocols. ... 29 Jul 2010 14:05

[PATCH -V3 10/17] richacl: Create-time inheritance
From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen(a)suse.de> When a new file is created, it can inherit an acl from its parent directory; this is similar to how default acls work in POSIX (draft) ACLs. As with POSIX ACLs, if a file inherits an acl from its parent directory, the intersection between the create mode and the permi... 29 Jul 2010 14:05

[PATCH -V3 03/17] 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. IS_ACL() is true if IS_POSIXACL() or IS_RICHACL() is true. Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen(a)suse.de> Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@l... 29 Jul 2010 14:05

[PATCH -V3 06/17] richacl: Compute maximum file masks from an acl
From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen(a)suse.de> Compute upper bound owner, group, and other file masks with as few permissions as possible without denying any permissions that the NFSv4 acl in a richacl grants. This algorithm is used when a file inherits an acl at create time and when an acl is set via a mechanism ... 29 Jul 2010 14:05
