Subject: [PATCH v16 00/22] Richacls (Core and Ext4)
Date: Wed,  2 Dec 2015 22:01:06 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1449090088-9281-1-git-send-email-agruenba@redhat.com> (raw)

Here is another update to the richacl patch queue.  I still think these patches
are ready for the next merge window.

In reply to the previous posting (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/11/11/60),
Christoph has commented that richacls should use new syscalls as their
user-space interface instead of xattrs; the arguments didn't seem very
convincing though.  So instead, I started looking into things that can be
improved in the xattr code (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/12/2/343).

Changes since the last posting:

 * Fix a typo (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/11/10/681) that was causing
   getxattr to return 95 instead of failing with error EOPNOTSUPP when
   richacls were disabled.

 * The user namespace conversions for richacls have moved from the VFS
   into the get and set operations of richacl_xattr_handler; the VFS
   doesn't have to bother anymore.

   (POSIX ACLs arguably should behave the same way, but fixing that
   without breaking anything is tricky.)

The complete patch queue is available in git form here:

The richacl user-space utilitites, man pages, and test suite are available
here:
