Hmm, the example can be fixed by applying more 0406 here instead of 0466.

Yes, I think without them, the code cannot be reviewed properly.

Great, let me further simplify this to:

static int
richacl_isolate_owner_class(struct richacl_alloc *alloc)
{
        struct richacl *acl = alloc->acl;
        unsigned int deny = richacl_max_allowed(acl) & ~acl->a_owner_mask;

        if (deny) {
                struct richace *ace;

                /*
                 * Figure out if we can update an existig OWNER@ DENY entry.
                 */
                richacl_for_each_entry(ace, acl) {
                        if (richace_is_inherit_only(ace))
                                continue;
                        if (richace_is_allow(ace))
                                break;
                        if (richace_is_owner(ace)) {
                                return richace_change_mask(alloc, &ace,
                                                           ace->e_mask | deny);
                        }
                }

                /* Insert an owner@ deny entry at the front. */
                ace = acl->a_entries;
                if (richacl_insert_entry(alloc, &ace))
                        return -1;
                ace->e_type = RICHACE_ACCESS_DENIED_ACE_TYPE;
                ace->e_flags = RICHACE_SPECIAL_WHO;
                ace->e_mask = deny;
                ace->e_id.special = RICHACE_OWNER_SPECIAL_ID;
        }
        return 0;
}

Thanks,
Andreas
