    Subject[PATCH -V6 00/26] New ACL format for better NFSv4 acl interoperability
    Date
    Hi,

    The following set of patches implements VFS and ext4 changes needed to implement
    a new acl model for linux. Rich ACLs are an implementation of NFSv4 ACLs,
    extended by file masks to fit into the standard POSIX file permission model.
    They are designed to work seamlessly locally as well as across the NFSv4 and
    CIFS/SMB2 network file system protocols.

    A user-space utility for displaying and changing richacls is available at [4]
    (a number of examples can be found at http://acl.bestbits.at/richacl/examples.html).

    [4] git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/acl/kvaneesh/richacl.git master

    To test richacl on ext4 use -o richacl mount option. This mount option may later be
    dropped in favour of a feature flag.

    More details regarding richacl can be found at
    http://acl.bestbits.at/richacl/

    Changes from v5:
    a) rebase to v3.1-rc4-131-g9e79e3e

    NOTE: The kernel changes will be pushed to
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvaneesh/linux-richacl.git richacl
    when kernel.org is back
