[PATCH v4 24/30] xattr: use posix acl api

Christian Brauner brauner at kernel.org
Thu Sep 29 15:30:34 UTC 2022


In previous patches we built a new posix api solely around get and set
inode operations. Now that we have all the pieces in place we can switch
the system calls and the vfs over to only rely on this api when
interacting with posix acls. This finally removes all type unsafety and
type conversion issues explained in detail in [1] that we aim to get rid
of.

With the new posix acl api we immediately translate into an appropriate
kernel internal struct posix_acl format both when getting and setting
posix acls. This is a stark contrast to before were we hacked unsafe raw
values into the uapi struct that was stored in a void pointer relying
and having filesystems and security modules hack around in the uapi
struct as well.

    Christoph Hellwig <hch at lst.de>:
    - Add do_set_acl() and do_get_acl() to fs/posix_acl.c and fs/internal.h that
      wrap all the conversion and call them from fs/xattr.c. This allows to
      simplify the whole patch and remove unneeded helpers.
