[PATCH -V5 12/24] richacl: In-memory representation and helper functions

From: Aneesh Kumar K.V
Date: Wed Feb 23 2011 - 08:54:10 EST


From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@xxxxxxx>

A richacl consists of an NFSv4 acl and an owner, group, and other mask.
These three masks correspond to the owner, group, and other file
permission bits, but they contain NFSv4 permissions instead of POSIX
permissions.

Each entry in the NFSv4 acl applies to the file owner (OWNER@), the
owning group (GROUP@), literally everyone (EVERYONE@), or to a specific
uid or gid.

As in the standard POSIX file permission model, each process is the
owner, group, or other file class. A richacl grants a requested access
only if the NFSv4 acl in the richacl grants the access (according to the
NFSv4 permission check algorithm), and the file mask that applies to the
process includes the requested permissions.
