[PATCH v13 28/51] richacl: acl editing helper functions

Andreas Gruenbacher
2015-11-03T15:20:53Z

The file masks in richacls make chmod and creating new files more
efficient than having to apply file permission bits to the acl directly.
They also allow us to regain permissions from an acl even after a
restrictive chmod, because the permissions in the acl itself are not
being destroyed. In POSIX ACLs, the mask entry has a similar function.

Protocols like nfsv4 do not understand file masks. For those protocols,
we need to compute nfs4 acls which represent the effective permissions
granted by a richacl: we need to "apply" the file masks to the acl.

This is the first in a series of richacl transformation patches; it
implements basic richacl editing functions. The following patches
implement algorithms for transforming a richacl so that it can be
evaluated as a plain nfs4 acl, with identical permission check results.
