  • Here is a compatibility fix between Linux and Solaris when used with VxFS
    filesystems: Solaris usually accepts acl entries in any order, but with
    VxFS it replies with NFSERR_INVAL when it sees a four-entry acl that is not
    in canonical form. It may also fail with other non-canonical acls -- I
    can't tell, because that case never triggers: We only send non-canonical
    acls when we fake up an ACL_MASK entry.

    Instead of adding fake ACL_MASK entries at the end, inserting them in the
    correct position makes Solaris+VxFS happy. The Linux client and server
    sides don't care about entry order. The three-entry-acl special case in
    which we need a fake ACL_MASK entry was handled in xdr_nfsace_encode. The
    patch moves this into nfsacl_encode.
