[RFC v7 26/41] richacl: Apply the file masks to a richacl

[Andreas Gruenbacher]

Put all the pieces of the acl transformation puzzle together for
computing a richacl which has the file masks "applied" so that the
standard nfsv4 access check algorithm can be used on the richacl.

+/**
+ * richacl_apply_masks  -  apply the masks to the acl
+ *
+ * Transform @acl so that the standard NFSv4 permission check algorithm (which
+ * is not aware of file masks) will compute the same access decisions as the
+ * richacl permission check algorithm (which looks at the acl and the file
+ * masks).
+ *
+ * This algorithm is split into several steps:
+ *
+ *   - Move everyone@ aces to the end of the acl.  This simplifies the other
+ *     transformations, and allows the everyone@ allow ace at the end of the
+ *     acl to eventually allow permissions to the other class only.
+ *
+ *   - Propagate everyone@ permissions up the acl.  This transformation makes
+ *     sure that the owner and group class aces won't lose any permissions when
+ *     we apply the other mask to the everyone@ allow ace at the end of the acl.
+ *
+ *   - Apply the file masks to all aces.
+ *
+ *   - Make sure the owner is granted the owner mask permissions.
+ *
+ *   - Make sure everyone is granted the other mask permissions.
+ *
+ *   - Make sure that the owner is not granted any permissions beyond the owner
+ *     mask from group class aces or from everyone@.
+ *
+ *   - Make sure that the group class is not granted any permissions from
+ *     everyone@.
+ *
+ * The algorithm is exact except for richacls which cannot be represented as an
+ * acl alone: for example, given this acl:
+ *
+ *    group@:rw::allow
+ *
+ * when file masks corresponding to mode 0600 are applied, the owner would only
+ * get rw access if he is a member of the owning group.  This algorithm would
+ * produce an empty acl in this case.  We fix this case by modifying
+ * richacl_permission() so that the group mask is always applied to group class
+ * aces.  With this fix, the owner would not have any access (beyond the
+ * implicit permissions always granted to owners).
+ *
+ * NOTE: Depending on the acl and file masks, this algorithm can increase the
+ * number of aces by almost a factor of three in the worst case. This may make
+ * the acl too large for some purposes.
