H A Dacl.c476af919 Thu Jul 09 14:02:32 CDT 2020 Mike Marshall <hubcap@omnibond.com> orangefs: posix acl fix...

Al Viro pointed out that I broke some acl functionality...

* ACLs could not be fully removed
* posix_acl_chmod would be called while the old ACL was still cached
* new mode propagated to orangefs server before ACL.

... when I tried to make sure that modes that got changed as a
result of ACL-sets would be sent back to the orangefs server.

Not wanting to try and change the code without having some cases to
test it with, I began to hunt for setfacl examples that were expressible
in pure mode. Along the way I found examples like the following
which confused me:

user A had a file (/home/A/asdf) with mode 740
user B was in user A's group
user C was not in user A's group

setfacl -m u:C:rwx /home/A/asdf

The above setfacl caused ls -l /home/A/asdf to show a mode of 770,
making it appear that all users in user A's group now had full access
to /home/A/asdf, however, user B still only had read acces. Madness.

Anywho, I finally found that the above (whacky as it is) appears to
be "posixly on purpose" and explained in acl(5):

If the ACL has an ACL_MASK entry, the group permissions correspond
to the permissions of the ACL_MASK entry.
