Ok, I didn't see problems in testing this with xfstests, but maybe it didn't tickle that bug in the right way. Instead of this, what if we were to add a new SB_NOUMASK flag? NFS could set that, and then we could fix the places that NFS needs to use that instead. That might bring more clarity to this code -- SB_POSIXACL would really mean that ACLs were supported. I'll see what I can put together... Thanks! -- Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx>
