[PATCH] Fix POSIX ACL permission check
From: Ari Savolainen
Date: Sat Aug 06 2011 - 12:43:17 EST
After commit 3567866bf261: "RCUify freeing acls, let check_acl() go ahead in
RCU mode if acl is cached" posix_acl_permission is being called with an
unsupported flag and the permission check fails. This patch fixes the issue.
