Yes, it is misleading that these are called "ACL", since the ACL is onl= y optionally stored internal to the EA block. We should provide compatib= ility macros to avoid breaking old code, which will also allow incremental migration. > @@ -449,6 +450,7 @@ struct ext2_inode_large { > #define i_reserved1 osd1.masix1.m_i_reserved1 > #define i_frag osd2.masix2.m_i_frag > #define i_fsize osd2.masix2.m_i_fsize > +#define i_file_acl_high osd2.masix2.m_i_file_acl_high > #define i_reserved2 osd2.masix2.m_i_reserved2 On an unrelated note - does MASIX even exist anymore?
