I'd somewhat prefer something equivalent to: if (!acl) inode->i_acl = NULL; if (!default_acl) inode->i_default_acl = NULL; given the code in ext2_init_acl(). It would be most natural like: if (default_acl) { do foo } else { inode->i_default_acl = NULL; } And similarly for 'acl'. Honza -- Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxxx> SUSE Labs, CR
