Re: Phantom ACL-related xattrs on 3.14.4 NFS client

Hi Trond & Christoph,

It's still broken, but in a different way.
The phantom attrs are gone, but the attr/acl interaction is still
uncertain.

I have tested vanilla 3.14.5 + this patch on x86_64.
Mount options are the same as last time (NFSv3).

This is what I see on the client:

nfsv3client% mkdir x
nfsv3client% cd x
nfsv3client% getfattr -m '.*' .
nfsv3client% getfacl .
# file: .
# owner: phil
# group: phil
user::rwx
group::rwx
other::r-x

OK so far: no more phantom attrs.
This is where things get dodgy:

nfsv3client% setfacl -m u:root:r .
nfsv3client% getfacl .
# file: .
# owner: phil
# group: phil
user::rwx
user:root:r--
group::rwx
mask::rwx
other::r-x

nfsv3client% getfattr -m '.*' .

I have no idea get getfattr crashes right after the listxattr() syscall,
but it surely doesn't on the NFSv3 server nor with 3.13.
A quick check on the NFS server shows the the ACLs are correctly set:

nfsv3server% cd /path/to/x
nfsv3server% getfacl .
# file: .
# owner: phil
# group: phil
user::rwx
user:root:r--
group::rwx
mask::rwx
other::r-x

nfsv3server% getfattr -m '.*' .
# file: .
system.posix_acl_access

Back on the client, clearing the ACL confuses the client further:

nfsv3client% setfacl -b .
nfsv3client% getfacl .
# file: .
# owner: phil
# group: phil
user::rwx
group::rwx
other::r-x

nfsv3client% strace getfattr -m '.*' . 2>&1 | tail -n 20
fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=26254, ...}) = 0

lstat(".", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0775, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
listxattr(".", NULL, 0) = 23
listxattr(".", "system.posix_acl_access", 256) = 23
brk(0) = 0x1655000
brk(0x1695000) = 0x1695000
brk(0) = 0x1695000
brk(0) = 0x1695000
brk(0x1676000) = 0x1676000

See how:
* getfacl says there's no ACLs
* getfattr says there's still a system.posix_acl_access attr.
Interestingly, the server says otherwise:

nfsv3server% getfattr -m '.*' .
nfsv3server% getfattr -n system.posix_acl_access .
.: system.posix_acl_access: No such attribute
[1] 2233 exit 1 getfattr -n system.posix_acl_access .
nfsv3server% getfacl .
# file: .
# owner: phil
# group: phil
user::rwx
group::rwx
other::r-x
