[RFC PATCH 2/6] ksmbd: keep named ACL entries effective when a DACL sets a POSIX ACL
From: Jan Koester
Date: Wed Oct 28 2026 - 02:24:50 EST
parse_dacl() turns ACEs for other users into named POSIX ACL entries
with an rwx mask, but leaves the group bits of fattr->cf_mode as the
owning group's ACE made them. set_info_sec() sets the ACL first and
then the mode, and on an inode with an extended ACL the mode's group
bits are the mask: a DACL without an ACE for the owning group (as
Windows writes them) left the mask at --- and every named entry
without effect.
Put the mask into the mode's group bits when there are named entries.
