For new wrapper functions like this better to name them as "NOUN_VERB" so
rather than "VERB_NOUN" so that related functions sort together, like
base_acl_init(), base_acl_get(), base_acl_put(), base_acl_refcount(), etc.

It probably makes sense to have a wrapper for this, like base_acl_refcount()
so that the details are similarly abstracted from the callers, or there
isn't much benefit to having get_base_acl() and put_base_acl() at all.

This should be base_acl_init() since this should also reset the RCU state
if it was just copied from "acl" above. That wouldn't be quite correct if
there are other fields added to struct base_acl that don't need to be
initialized when it is copied, so possibly base_acl_reinit() would be better
here and below if that will be the case in the near future (I haven't looked
through the whole patch series yet).

May as well make the comment use the base_acl_refcount() wrapper function too.

This would be better to use container_of() to unwrap struct base_acl from
struct posix_acl. That avoids the hard requirement (which isn't documented
anywhere) that base_acl needs to be the first member of struct posix_acl.
I was originally going to write that you should add a comment that base_acl
needs to be the first member of both richacl and posix_acl, but container_of()
is both cleaner and safer.
Looking further down, that IS actually needed due to the way kfree is used on
the base_acl pointer, but using container_of() is still cleaner and safer
than directly casting double pointers (which some compilers and static
analysis tools will be unhappy with).

Is this forward declaration of struct posix_acl even needed anymore after
the change below? There shouldn't be references to the struct in the common
code anymore (at least not by the end of the patch series.

Hmm, using the base_acl pointer as the pointer to kfree means that the
base_acl structure DOES need to be the first one in both struct posix_acl
and struct richacl, so that needs to be commented at each structure so
it doesn't accidentally break in the future.

This should also use base_acl_get() for consistency. That said, where is
the call to base_acl_put() in the richacl code?
Also, where is the change to struct richacl? It looks like this patch would
not be able to compile by itself. I was going to say that struct richacl
also needs a comment like struct posix_acl that struct base_acl needs to be
first.
