[RFC v6 00/40] Richacls

From: Andreas Gruenbacher
Date: Tue Aug 04 2015 - 07:54:35 EST


Hello,

here's another update of the richacl patch queue. Changes since the last
posting (https://lwn.net/Articles/652058/):

* Version 4 of the patch queue from June 24 introduced a bug when creating
files, where the owner and others would always get the permissions specified
in the owner and other permission bits of the create mode, independent of
an inheritable acl. In fact the create mode should only be an upper bound
on the permissions granted by an inherited acl, or, in the absence of an
inheritable acl, the umask. In contrast, when setting the file permission
bits with chmod, the owner and other permissions should be set to the new
mode.

This is fixed in the code by introducing an additional RICHACL_WRITE_THROUGH
flag which is set by chmod but not at file create time.

* Suport for MAY_CREATE_FILE and MAY_CREATE_DIR in nfsd.

* Some minor fixes and checkpatch cleanups.

The complete patch queue is available here:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/agruen/linux-richacl.git \
richacl-2015-08-04

Open issues in nfs:

* When a user or group name cannot be mapped, nfs's idmapper always
maps it to nobody. That's good enough for mapping the file owner and
owning group, but not for identifiers in acls. For now, to get the nfs
richacl support somewhat working, I'm explicitly checking if mapping
has resulted in uid/gid 99 in the kernel.

* When the nfs server replies with NFS4ERR_BADNAME for any user or group name
lookup, the client will stop sending numeric uids and gids to the server even
when the lookup wasn't numeric. From then on, the client will translate uids
and gids that have no mapping to the string "nobody", and the server will
reject them. This problem is not specific to acls.

* The use of GFP_ flags needs to be looked at.

Other open issues:

* It would be nice if the MAY_DELETE_SELF flag could override the sticky
directory check as it did in the previous version of this patch queue. I
couldn't come up with a clean way of achieving that.

Thanks,
Andreas
