    Subject[PATCH -V7 16/26] richacl: Update the file masks in chmod()
    Date
    From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@kernel.org>

    Doing a chmod() sets the file mode, which includes the file permission
    bits. When a file has a richacl, the permissions that the richacl
    grants need to be limited to what the new file permission bits allow.

    This is done by setting the file masks in the richacl to what the file
    permission bits map to. The richacl access check algorithm takes the
    file masks into account, which ensures that the richacl cannot grant too
    many permissions.

    It is possible to explicitly add permissions to the file masks which go
    beyond what the file permission bits can grant (like the ACE4_WRITE_ACL
    permission). The POSIX.1 standard calls this an alternate file access
    control mechanism. A subsequent chmod() would ensure that those
    permissions are disabled again.
