From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== If a non-inherited ACL is set on a directory, nfsd will try to set the Posix default ACL to NULL. This gets converted to "" by generic_setxattr(). As "" is not a valid posix acl attribute value, this results in an error. So instead of setting the xattr to NULL, remove it.
