Here is another update to the richacl patch queue. I still think these patches are ready for the next merge window. In reply to the previous posting (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/11/11/60), Christoph has commented that richacls should use new syscalls as their user-space interface instead of xattrs; the arguments didn't seem very convincing though. So instead, I started looking into things that can be improved in the xattr code (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/12/2/343). Changes since the last posting: * Fix a typo (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/11/10/681) that was causing getxattr to return 95 instead of failing with error EOPNOTSUPP when richacls were disabled. * The user namespace conversions for richacls have moved from the VFS into the get and set operations of richacl_xattr_handler; the VFS doesn't have to bother anymore. (POSIX ACLs arguably should behave the same way, but fixing that without breaking anything is tricky.) The complete patch queue is available in git form here: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/agruen/linux-richacl.git \ richacl-2015-11-09 The richacl user-space utilitites, man pages, and test suite are available here: https://github.com/andreas-gruenbacher/richacl Changes to other user-space packages for richacl are available here: https://github.com/andreas-gruenbacher/coreutils https://github.com/andreas-gruenbacher/e2fsprogs https://github.com/andreas-gruenbacher/xfsprogs-dev https://github.com/andreas-gruenbacher/nfs-utils Please see the richacl homepage for more information: http://www.bestbits.at/richacl/ Thanks, Andreas Andreas Gruenbacher (20): vfs: Add IS_ACL() and IS_RICHACL() tests vfs: Add MAY_CREATE_FILE and MAY_CREATE_DIR permission flags vfs: Add MAY_DELETE_SELF and MAY_DELETE_CHILD permission flags vfs: Make the inode passed to inode_change_ok non-const vfs: Add permission flags for setting file attributes richacl: In-memory representation and helper functions richacl: Permission mapping functions richacl: Compute maximum file masks from an acl richacl: Permission check algorithm posix_acl: Unexport acl_by_type and make it static vfs: Cache base_acl objects in inodes vfs: Add get_richacl and set_richacl inode operations vfs: Cache richacl in struct inode richacl: Update the file masks in chmod() richacl: Check if an acl is equivalent to a file mode richacl: Create-time inheritance richacl: Automatic Inheritance richacl: xattr mapping functions richacl: Add richacl xattr handler vfs: Add richacl permission checking Aneesh Kumar K.V (2): ext4: Add richacl support ext4: Add richacl feature flag drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/llite/llite_lib.c | 2 +- fs/Kconfig | 3 + fs/Makefile | 2 + fs/attr.c | 81 +++- fs/ext4/Kconfig | 11 + fs/ext4/Makefile | 1 + fs/ext4/ext4.h | 6 +- fs/ext4/file.c | 3 + fs/ext4/ialloc.c | 11 +- fs/ext4/inode.c | 12 +- fs/ext4/namei.c | 5 + fs/ext4/richacl.c | 142 ++++++ fs/ext4/richacl.h | 40 ++ fs/ext4/super.c | 49 +- fs/ext4/xattr.c | 7 + fs/f2fs/acl.c | 4 +- fs/inode.c | 15 +- fs/jffs2/acl.c | 10 +- fs/namei.c | 118 +++-- fs/posix_acl.c | 50 +-- fs/richacl_base.c | 564 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ fs/richacl_inode.c | 333 ++++++++++++++ fs/richacl_xattr.c | 298 +++++++++++++ fs/xattr.c | 34 +- include/linux/fs.h | 60 ++- include/linux/posix_acl.h | 13 +- include/linux/richacl.h | 208 +++++++++ include/linux/richacl_xattr.h | 44 ++ include/uapi/linux/Kbuild | 2 + include/uapi/linux/fs.h | 3 +- include/uapi/linux/richacl.h | 152 +++++++ include/uapi/linux/richacl_xattr.h | 44 ++ include/uapi/linux/xattr.h | 2 + 33 files changed, 2222 insertions(+), 107 deletions(-) create mode 100644 fs/ext4/richacl.c create mode 100644 fs/ext4/richacl.h create mode 100644 fs/richacl_base.c create mode 100644 fs/richacl_inode.c create mode 100644 fs/richacl_xattr.c create mode 100644 include/linux/richacl.h create mode 100644 include/linux/richacl_xattr.h create mode 100644 include/uapi/linux/richacl.h create mode 100644 include/uapi/linux/richacl_xattr.h -- 2.5.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
