This implements NFSv41 (RFC 5661) ACLs in a manner
compatible with vfs_nfs4acl_xattr in Samba and
nfs4xdr-acl-tools.
There are three key areas of change in this commit:
1) NFSv4 ACL management through system.nfs4_acl_xdr xattr.
Install an xattr handler for "system.nfs4_acl_xdr" that
presents an xattr containing full NFSv41 ACL structures
generated through rpcgen using specification from the Samba
project. This xattr is used by userspace programs to read and
set permissions.
2) add an i_op->permissions endpoint: zpl_permissions(). This
is used by the VFS in Linux to determine whether to allow /
deny an operation. Wherever possible, we try to avoid having
to call zfs_access(). If kernel has NFSv4 patch for VFS, then
perform more complete check of avaiable access mask.
3) add capability-based overrides to secpolicy_vnode_access2()
there are various situations in which ACL may need to be
overridden based on capabilities. This logic is almost directly
copied from Linux VFS. For instance, root needs to be able to
always read / write ACLs (otherwise admin can get locked out
from files).
This is commit was initially inspired by work from Paul B. Henson
to implement NFSv4.0 (RFC3530) ACLs in ZFS on Linux. Key areas of
divergence are as follows:
- ACL specification, xattr format, xattr name
- Addition of handling for NFSv4 masks from Linux VFS
- Addition of ACL overrides based on capabilities
