[PATCH 2/5] Posix ACL support for ext 2/3 filesystems

tytso@mit.edu
Wed, 16 Oct 2002 23:20:09 -0400


This patch (as well as the previous one) implements core ACL support
which is needed for XFS as well as ext2/3 ACL support. It causes umask
handling to be skilled for inodes that contain POSIX acl's, so that the
original mode information can be passed down to the low-level fs code,
which will take care of handling the umask.

This patch has been requested by the JFS team as well. Linus, please
apply.
