make generic_acl slightly more generic

2009-12-16T17:16:49+00:00

Now that we cache the ACL pointers in the generic inode all the generic_acl cruft can go away and generic_acl.c can directly implement xattr handlers dealing with the full Posix ACL semantics for in-memory filesystems. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Al Viro

sanitize xattr handler prototypes

2009-12-16T17:16:49+00:00

Add a flags argument to struct xattr_handler and pass it to all xattr handler methods. This allows using the same methods for multiple handlers, e.g. for the ACL methods which perform exactly the same action for the access and default ACLs, just using a different underlying attribute. With a little more groundwork it'll also allow sharing the methods for the regular user/trusted/secure handlers in extN, ocfs2 and jffs2 like it's already done for xfs in this patch. Also change the inode argument to the handlers to a dentry to allow using the handlers mechnism for filesystems that require it later, e.g. cifs.

shmfs: use 'check_acl' instead of 'permission'

2009-09-08T18:08:46+00:00

shmfs wants purely standard POSIX ACL semantics, so we can use the new generic VFS layer POSIX ACL checking rather than cooking our own 'permission()' function. Reviewed-by: James Morris Acked-by: Serge Hallyn Acked-by: Hugh Dickins Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] sanitize ->permission() prototype

2008-07-27T00:53:14+00:00

* kill nameidata * argument; map the 3 bits in ->flags anybody cares about to new MAY_... ones and pass with the mask. * kill redundant gfs2_iop_permission() * sanitize ecryptfs_permission() * fix remaining places where ->permission() instances might barf on new MAY_... found in mask.
