Subject: [Cluster-devel] [PATCH v2 2/2] gfs2: preserve i_mode if __gfs2_set_acl() fails
Date: Thu, 31 Aug 2017 09:12:07 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1998936240.4008871.1504185127694.JavaMail.zimbra@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170831063333.GA7274@debian.home>

----- Original Message -----
| When changing a file's acl mask, __gfs2_set_acl() will first set the
| group bits of i_mode to the value of the mask, and only then set the
| actual extended attribute representing the new acl.
| 
| If the second part fails (due to lack of space, for example) and the
| file had no acl attribute to begin with, the system will from now on
| assume that the mask permission bits are actual group permission bits,
| potentially granting access to the wrong users.
| 
| Prevent this by only changing the inode mode after the acl has been set.
