Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 5/5] selftests/filesystems: add fuse ACLs caching test
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2026 14:11:22 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260708131122.2917-6-luis@igalia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260708131122.2917-1-luis@igalia.com>
This patch adds a simple test that allows to verify that ACLs caching is
working as expected. I.e. it verifies that, if FUSE_POSIX_ACL flag is set,
user-space is only called once when accessing an inode ACL and that
subsequent accesses are cached in the kernel.
