The xattr representation is the same on disk and at the xattr syscall
layer, and so richacl_from_xattr is used for converting into the
in-memory representation in both cases. The error codes are not the
same when a user supplies an invalid value via setxattr or NFS and
when an invalid xattr is read from disk though. I'll add a parameter
to richacl_from_xattr to make this more explicit.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. When the
