Just please be more verbose with the comment. This is hardly readable for anyone not knowing what's going on in advance. Also braces around 4 are superfluous. Add something like the comment below before posix_acl_valid(): /* * posix_acl_valid() makes sure ACL format is the following: * ACL_USER_OBJ ACL_USER*[1] ACL_GROUP_OBJ ACL_GROUP*[1] ACL_MASK[2] ACL_OTHER * * [1] Where * is the regexp sense of "0 or more times" * [2] If ACL_USER or ACL_GROUP is present, then ACL_MASK must be present. */ Then add comment before definition of ACL_MAX_SHORT_ENTRY: /* * posix_acl_valid() makes sure that if there are <= 4 ACL entries, then * all of them are short. Otherwise exactly 4 entries are short ones and * other have full length. See comment before that function for exact ACL * format. */ Honza > /* permissions in the e_perm field */ > #define ACL_READ (0x04) > #define ACL_WRITE (0x02) > -- > 1.7.10.4 -- Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> SUSE Labs, CR -- 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
