Hi Linus,
Here's a patch based on Andreas' recent mail describing a stumbling
block in the VFS which prevents filesystems that wish to implement
POSIX ACLs from doing so. Details here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=102831541509385&w=2
The patch was discussed on fsdevel and lkml with no concerns raised,
just suggestions for minor tweaks (which have been incorporated).
cheers.
