[PATCH -V5 14/24] richacl: Compute maximum file masks from an acl

From: Aneesh Kumar K.V
Date: Wed Feb 23 2011 - 08:56:12 EST


From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@xxxxxxx>

Compute upper bound owner, group, and other file masks with as few
permissions as possible without denying any permissions that the NFSv4
acl in a richacl grants.

This algorithm is used when a file inherits an acl at create time and
when an acl is set via a mechanism that does not specify file modes
(such as via nfsd). When user-space sets an acl, the file masks are
passed in as part of the xattr.

When setting a richacl, the file masks determine what the file
permission bits will be set to; see richacl_masks_to_mode().
