After setting ACL for directory, I got two problems that caused by the cached zero-length default posix acl. This patch make sure nfsd4_set_nfs4_acl calls ->set_acl with a NULL ACL structure if there are no entries. Thanks for Christoph Hellwig's advice. First problem: ............ hang ...........
