Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Don't reduce symlink i_mode by umask if no ACL support
Precedence: bulk
MIME-Version: 1.0

Message-ID: <1553599.1715262072@warthog.procyon.org.uk>

If CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL=3Dn then the fallback version of ext4_init_acl=
()
will mask off the umask bits from the new inode's i_mode.  This should not
be done if the inode is a symlink.  If CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL=3Dy, then =
we
go through posix_acl_create() instead which does the right thing with
symlinks.

Fix this by making the fallback version of ext4_init_acl() do nothing if
inode is a symlink.
