I was going to complain about this patch, because re-using the "acl"
mount option to specify richacl instead of POSIX ACL would be very
confusing, since older kernels used the "acl" mount option to enable
POSIX ACLs.

Looking closer, I see that "acl" and "noacl" just means enable or disable
the ACL functionality on the filesystem.  Please fix up the commit comment.

Some more comments inline.

This should put the #ifdef around the code that is being enabled/disabled,
otherwise it just becomes dead code:

static int enable_acl(struct super_block *sb)
{
	if (EXT4_HAS_COMPAT_FEATURE(sb, EXT4_FEATURE_COMPAT_RICHACL)) {
#if defined(CONFIG_EXT4_FS_RICHACL)
		sb->s_flags |= MS_RICHACL;
		sb->s_flags &= ~MS_POSIXACL;
#else
		return -EOPNOTSUPP;
#endif
	} else {
#if defined(CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL)
		sb->s_flags |= MS_POSIXACL;
		sb->s_flags &= ~MS_RICHACL;
#else
		return -EOPNOTSUPP;
#endif
	}
	return 0;
}

"return" is not needed at the end of void functions. Same comment on #ifdef:

static void disable_acl(struct super_block *sb)
{
#if defined(CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL) || defined(CONFIG_EXT4_FS_RICHACL)
	sb->s_flags &= ~(MS_POSIXACL | MS_RICHACL);
#endif
}

Is there any expectation that the flags would be set on a newly mounted
filesystem?

Similarly, it seems racy to me to disable ACL support and then re-enable
it here during remount, since that might cause some concurrent operations
to fail.  It seems like enable_acl() already handles clearing the flags
correctly, so something like the following would be better:

	if (test_opt(sb, ACL))
		enable_acl(sb);
	else
		disable_acl(sb);
