Subject: [PATHC] nfsd: Fix a couple issues with POSIX->NFSv4 ACL conversion

1. GROUP@ Allow entry doesn't have NFS4_ACE_IDENTIFIER_GROUP, This
appears to have been introduced by accident as part of commit
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=bec50c47aaf6f1f9247f1860547ab394a0802a4c

2. The group deny entries end up denying tcy even though tcy was just
allowed by the allow entry. This appears to be due to:
ace->access_mask = mask_from_posix(deny, flags);
instead of:
ace->access_mask = deny_mask_from_posix(deny, flags);

Ok, that makes sense, in that case, we probably should have this
fragment to remove the flag from the GROUP@ deny entry:

Sure. Applied.

It's good to flip that bit every now and then just to keep client
implementations on their toes....

(Slightly more seriously, the 4.1 draft says "The
ACE4_IDENTIFIER_GROUP flag MUST be ignored on entries with these
special identifiers. When encoding entries with these special
identifiers, the ACE4_IDENTIFIER_GROUP flag SHOULD be set to
zero." It really shouldn't matter either way, but the point is
that this flag is used to distinguish named users from named
groups (since unix allows a group to have the same name as a
user), so it doesn't really make sense to use it on a special
identifier such as this.)

Yup, good catch, thanks. I'll apply the second chunk from this patch
(and adjust the comment appropriately).
