The function ext4_init_acl() calls posix_acl_create() which is responsible for applying the umask. But without CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL, ext4_init_acl() is an empty inline function, and nobody applies the umask. This fixes a bug which causes the umask to be ignored with O_TMPFILE on ext4: https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/MPD/issues/558 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686142#c3 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203625 Signed-off-by: Max Kellermann <max.kellermann@xxxxxxxxx> --- fs/ext4/acl.h | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/fs/ext4/acl.h b/fs/ext4/acl.h index 9b63f5416a2f..7f3b25b3fa6d 100644 --- a/fs/ext4/acl.h +++ b/fs/ext4/acl.h @@ -67,6 +67,11 @@ extern int ext4_init_acl(handle_t *, struct inode *, struct inode *); static inline int ext4_init_acl(handle_t *handle, struct inode *inode, struct inode *dir) { + /* usually, the umask is applied by posix_acl_create(), but if + ext4 ACL support is disabled at compile time, we need to do + it here, because posix_acl_create() will never be called */ + inode->i_mode &= ~current_umask(); + return 0; } #endif /* CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL */ -- 2.20.1
