Phantom ACL-related xattrs on 3.14.4 NFS client
From: Philippe Troin

This happens on an NFS client running on:
Linux ceramic32 3.14.4 #1 SMP Fri May 30 00:52:07 PDT 2014 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
(also happens on x86_64).
The NFS server can be either 3.14 or 3.13, it doesn't change a thing.
Mount options are:
(from /proc/mtab)
ceramic:/export/home/phil /home/phil nfs rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,vers=3,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,mountaddr=172.17.1.2,mountvers=3,mountport=20048,mountproto=tcp,local_lock=none,addr=172.17.1.2 0 0
(This is NFSv3)
The symptom:
Run getfacl on any NFS inode. See there are no ACLs:
% getfacl .
# file: .
# owner: phil
# group: phil
user::rwx
group::r-x
other::r-x
Yet, getfattr says there are some acl-related xattrs:
% getfattr -m '.*' .
# file: .
system.posix_acl_access
system.posix_acl_default
But when you want to retrieve these phantom xattrs, I get errors:
% getfattr -n system.posix_acl_access .
.: system.posix_acl_access: No such attribute
[1] 1136 exit 1 getfattr -n system.posix_acl_access .
% getfattr -n system.posix_acl_default .
.: system.posix_acl_default: No such attribute
[1] 1146 exit 1 getfattr -n system.posix_acl_default .
I've noticed because it breaks the patch utility.
This is a regression from 3.13, probably due to the 3.14 NFS ACL overhaul.
I'm ready & willing to try patches.
Phil.
