[RFC v7 00/41] Richacls

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

here's another update of the richacl patch queue.  Changes since the last
posting (https://lwn.net/Articles/653459/):

 * The owner argument of richacl_compute_max_masks() has been
   removed; the maximum file masks are computed independent of
   the current file owner; with the previous version, the group mask
   could have ended up being too restrictive after an owner change.

 * Function richace_clear_inheritance_flags() has been replaced
   by the RICHACE_INHERITANCE_FLAGS define.

 * Definitions common to the kernel and to user space have been
    moved into uapi header files.

 * A few other minor fixes and clarifications.

In addition, the user-space utilitites now include a man page describing how
richacls work:

  https://github.com/andreas-gruenbacher/richacl/blob/master/man/richacl.7

The complete patch queue is available here:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/agruen/linux-richacl.git \
        richacl-2015-09-xx

Open issues:

 * nfs: When a user or group name cannot be mapped, nfs's idmapper
   always maps it to nobody. That's good enough for mapping the file
   owner and owning group, but not for identifiers in acls. For now, to get
   the nfs richacl support somewhat working, I'm explicitly checking if
   mapping has resulted in uid/gid 99 in the kernel.

 * nfs: When the nfs server replies with NFS4ERR_BADNAME for any
   user or group name lookup, the client will stop sending numeric uids
   and gids to the server even when the lookup wasn't numeric.
   From then on, the client will translate uids and gids that have no
   mapping to the string "nobody", and the server will reject them.
   This problem is not specific to acls.

 * nfsd could implement creating a file without applying a file mode;
   this would make Automatic Inheritance work as intended. Right
   now, when no mode is specified, the file permission bits are set
   to 0.

 * 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.

Thanks,
Andreas
