Here is another update of the richacl patches. Changes since the last posting (https://lwn.net/Articles/693099/): * Rebase on top of the 4.7 kernel. * De-union ba_refcount and ba_rcu in struct base_acl (analogous to mainline commit 6d4e56ce9 from Jeff Layton). * Functions check_richacl and check_posix_acl moved from fs/namei.c into fs/richacl.c and fs/posix_acl.c to avoid #ifdefs in the code. * nfs: Use PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO instead of open-coding it. * Remove outdated comment for richacl_mode_to_mask. Turn richacl_want_to_mask into a static function. * Patch "posix_acl: Improve xattr fixup code" has become unrelated to this patch queue; move it out of the way. As always, the complete patch queue is available here: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/agruen/linux-richacl.git \ richacl-2016-07-25 The richacl user-space utilitites, man pages, and test suite are available here: https://github.com/andreas-gruenbacher/richacl Changes to other user-space packages for richacl: https://github.com/andreas-gruenbacher/coreutils https://github.com/andreas-gruenbacher/e2fsprogs https://github.com/andreas-gruenbacher/samba https://github.com/andreas-gruenbacher/xfsprogs-dev https://github.com/andreas-gruenbacher/nfs-utils Please see the richacl homepage for more information: http://www.bestbits.at/richacl/ Thanks, Andreas Andreas Gruenbacher (20): vfs: Add IS_ACL() and IS_RICHACL() tests vfs: Add MAY_CREATE_FILE and MAY_CREATE_DIR permission flags vfs: Add MAY_DELETE_SELF and MAY_DELETE_CHILD permission flags vfs: Make the inode passed to inode_change_ok non-const vfs: Add permission flags for setting file attributes richacl: In-memory representation and helper functions richacl: Permission mapping functions richacl: Permission check algorithm richacl: Compute maximum file masks from an acl vfs: Cache base_acl objects in inodes vfs: Add get_richacl and set_richacl inode operations vfs: Cache richacl in struct inode richacl: Update the file masks in chmod() richacl: Check if an acl is equivalent to a file mode richacl: Create-time inheritance richacl: Automatic Inheritance richacl: xattr mapping functions richacl: Add richacl xattr handler vfs: Add richacl permission checking vfs: Move check_posix_acl and check_richacl out of fs/namei.c Aneesh Kumar K.V (2): ext4: Add richacl support ext4: Add richacl feature flag drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/llite/llite_lib.c | 2 +- fs/9p/acl.c | 8 +- fs/Kconfig | 3 + fs/Makefile | 1 + fs/attr.c | 81 +- fs/ext4/Kconfig | 11 + fs/ext4/Makefile | 1 + fs/ext4/ext4.h | 6 +- fs/ext4/file.c | 3 + fs/ext4/ialloc.c | 11 +- fs/ext4/inode.c | 5 +- fs/ext4/namei.c | 5 + fs/ext4/richacl.c | 134 ++++ fs/ext4/richacl.h | 40 + fs/ext4/super.c | 49 +- fs/ext4/xattr.c | 7 + fs/f2fs/acl.c | 4 +- fs/inode.c | 43 +- fs/jffs2/acl.c | 6 +- fs/namei.c | 114 +-- fs/nfs/nfs3acl.c | 14 +- fs/posix_acl.c | 97 ++- fs/richacl.c | 937 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ fs/richacl_xattr.c | 222 ++++++ include/linux/acl.h | 15 + include/linux/fs.h | 65 +- include/linux/posix_acl.h | 24 +- include/linux/richacl.h | 218 ++++++ include/linux/richacl_xattr.h | 31 + include/uapi/linux/Kbuild | 2 + include/uapi/linux/fs.h | 3 +- include/uapi/linux/richacl.h | 152 ++++ include/uapi/linux/richacl_xattr.h | 44 ++ include/uapi/linux/xattr.h | 2 + 34 files changed, 2196 insertions(+), 164 deletions(-) create mode 100644 fs/ext4/richacl.c create mode 100644 fs/ext4/richacl.h create mode 100644 fs/richacl.c create mode 100644 fs/richacl_xattr.c create mode 100644 include/linux/acl.h create mode 100644 include/linux/richacl.h create mode 100644 include/linux/richacl_xattr.h create mode 100644 include/uapi/linux/richacl.h create mode 100644 include/uapi/linux/richacl_xattr.h -- 2.5.5 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
