Subject[RFC 00/39] Richacls (2)
Date
Hello,

here is an update to the richacl patch queue. The changes since the last
posting (https://lwn.net/Articles/634870/) include:

* The ACL4_ and ACE4_ prefixes used for various richacl flags were renamed
to RICHACL_ and RICHACE_. The flag values are still identical with NFSv4
for flags that exist in NFSv4.

* The code is now uid/gid namespace aware.

* The nfs server now uses richacls as its internal acl representation;
struct nfs4_acl is gone. On the underlying file system, it uses either POSIX
ACLs or richacls depending on what that file system supports.

* The nfs client now exports NFSv4 acls as richacls in the "system.richacl"
attribute instead of the nfs-specific "system.nfs4_acl" attribute, just like
local file systems.

Note that the richacl xattr format has changed from the previous version and is
incompatible.


The git version is available here:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/agruen/linux-richacl.git \
richacl-2015-03-27

For comparison, the previous version is available here:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/agruen/linux-richacl.git \
richacl-2015-02-26


Things still to be done, or which I'm not entirely happy with:

* We may need to add back support for the "system.nfs4_acl" attribute
on nfs mounts for backwards compatible. Is anyone actually using that
attribute?

* While richacls do support Automatic Inheritance, the nfs client and server
don't because they don't support the NFSv4.1 "dacl" attribute yet (see RFC
5661).

* The nfs server performs some access checking on its own before calling into
the vfs which is rersponsible for the actual access checking (see where it
calls inode_permission()). With the additional MAY_ flags introduced in
this patch queue, the nfsd access checks may now be too restrictive in some
cases; I have yet to figure out how to deal with this.

* It would make sense for CIFS to expose Windows ACLs as richacls as well.
Steve maybe?

* The base_acl code is still rather ugly.

* It would be nice if the MAY_DELETE_SELF flag could override the sticky
directory check as it did in the previous version of this patch queue. I
couldn't come up with a clean way of achieving that, though.
