Hi Andreas, >> here's another update of the richacl patch queue. The changes since the last >> posting (https://lwn.net/Articles/638242/) include: >> >> * The nfs client now allocates pages for received acls on demand like the >> server does. It no longer caches the acl size between calls. >> >> * All possible acls consisting of only owner@, group@, and everyone@ entries >> which are equivalent to the file mode permission bits are now recognized. >> This is needed because by the NFSv4 specification, the nfs server must >> translate the file mode permission bits into an acl if it supports acls at >> all. >> >> * Support for the dacl attribute over NFSv4.1 for Automatic Inheritance, and >> also for the write_retention and write_retention_hold permissions. >> >> * The richacl_compute_max_masks() documentation has been improved. >> >> * Various minor bug fixes. >> >> The git version is available here: >> >> git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/agruen/linux-richacl.git \ >> richacl-2015-04-24 > > FYI.

Yes, we need to make sure the code supports everything we require, proved by working code. We should avoid the disaster with the mostly unuseable F_SETLEASE code for kernel oplocks. Thanks! metze
