Hello, here is an update to the richacl patch queue. The changes since the last posting (https://lwn.net/Articles/634870/) include: * The ACL4_ and ACE4_ prefixes used for various richacl flags were renamed to RICHACL_ and RICHACE_. The flag values are still identical with NFSv4 for flags that exist in NFSv4. * The code is now uid/gid namespace aware. * The nfs server now uses richacls as its internal acl representation; struct nfs4_acl is gone. On the underlying file system, it uses either POSIX ACLs or richacls depending on what that file system supports. * The nfs client now exports NFSv4 acls as richacls in the "system.richacl" attribute instead of the nfs-specific "system.nfs4_acl" attribute, just like local file systems. Note that the richacl xattr format has changed from the previous version and is incompatible. The git version is available here: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/agruen/linux-richacl.git \ richacl-2015-03-27 For comparison, the previous version is available here: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/agruen/linux-richacl.git \ richacl-2015-02-26 Things still to be done, or which I'm not entirely happy with: * We may need to add back support for the "system.nfs4_acl" attribute on nfs mounts for backwards compatible. Is anyone actually using that attribute? * While richacls do support Automatic Inheritance, the nfs client and server don't because they don't support the NFSv4.1 "dacl" attribute yet (see RFC 5661). * The nfs server performs some access checking on its own before calling into the vfs which is rersponsible for the actual access checking (see where it calls inode_permission()). With the additional MAY_ flags introduced in this patch queue, the nfsd access checks may now be too restrictive in some cases; I have yet to figure out how to deal with this. * It would make sense for CIFS to expose Windows ACLs as richacls as well. Steve maybe? * The base_acl code is still rather ugly. * It would be nice if the MAY_DELETE_SELF flag could override the sticky directory check as it did in the previous version of this patch queue. I couldn't come up with a clean way of achieving that, though.
