Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/5] ubifs: Support POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs)

Hi,

This patchset is base on [1] and [2], adding implementation of ACLs for
ubifs.

Implement ACLs features based on POSIX to solve some difficulties that
require fine-grained access control. At the same time, it is also to
facilitate cross-file system migration.

In order to simplify the implementation, only v2 version POSIX ACLs are
implemented, eliminating the need for in-memory and on-flash format
conversion. And no need to implement security xattr handler in ubifs.

Some testcases have been tested and passed:
  * generic testcases (modified version) for acl group in xfstest[3], they are generic/026/053/077/099/105/237/307/318/319/375/389/444/449/529/697.
  * tacl_xattr.sh (modified version) in LTP[4].
