So, personally: I'm resigned to the idea that we want support for this ACL model. The vfs changes look OK to me (and wouldn't be changed by any comments I'd have on the more richacl-specific patches to follow). So that's an ACK from me on the first set of these patches, assuming it's OK with people to merge these things one step at a time. --b. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
