Message-Id: <1443391772-10171-16-git-send-email-agruenba@redhat.com> Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2015 00:09:06 +0200 From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@...hat.com> To: Alexander Viro <viro@...iv.linux.org.uk>, "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@....edu>, Andreas Dilger <adilger.kernel@...ger.ca>, "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@...ldses.org>, Jeff Layton <jlayton@...chiereds.net>, Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@...marydata.com>, Anna Schumaker <anna.schumaker@...app.com>, linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, linux-fsdevel@...r.kernel.org, linux-nfs@...r.kernel.org, linux-api@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH v8 15/41] richacl: Automatic Inheritance Automatic Inheritance (AI) allows changes to the acl of a directory to propagate down to children. This is mostly implemented in user space: when a process changes the permissions of a directory and Automatic Inheritance is enabled for that directory, the process must propagate those changes to all children, recursively. The kernel enables this by keeping track of which permissions have been inherited at create time. In addition, it makes sure that permission propagation is turned off when the permissions are set explicitly (for example, upon create or chmod). Automatic Inheritance works as follows: - When the RICHACL_AUTO_INHERIT flag in the acl of a file or directory is not set, the file or directory is not affected by AI. - When the RICHACL_AUTO_INHERIT flag in the acl of a directory is set and a file or subdirectory is created in that directory, the inherited acl will have the RICHACL_AUTO_INHERIT flag set, and all inherited aces will have the RICHACE_INHERITED_ACE flag set. This allows user space to distinguish between aces which have been inherited and aces which have been explicitly added. - When the RICHACL_PROTECTED acl flag in the acl of a file or directory is set, AI will not modify the acl. This does not affect propagation of permissions from the file to its children (if the file is a directory). Linux does not have a way of creating files or directories without setting the file permission bits, so all files created inside a directory with RICHACL_AUTO_INHERIT set will have the RICHACL_PROTECTED flag set. This effectively disables Automatic Inheritance. Protocols which support creating files without specifying permissions can explicitly clear the RICHACL_PROTECTED flag after creating a file and reset the file masks to "undo" applying the create mode; see richacl_compute_max_masks(). They should set the RICHACL_DEFAULTED flag. (A mechanism that would allow to indicate to the kernel to ignore the create mode in the first place when there are inherited permissions would be nice to have.)
