Subject: [PATCH 12/16] richacl: Automatic Inheritance
Patch-mainline: not yet
Automatic Inheritance (AI) allows changes to the acl of a directory to
recursively propagate down to files and directories in the directory.
To implement this, the kernel keeps track of which permissions have been
inherited, and makes sure that permission propagation is turned off when
the file permission bits of a file are changed (upon create or chmod).
The actual permission propagation is implemented in user space.
AI works as follows:
- When the ACL4_AUTO_INHERIT flag in the acl of a file is cleared, the
file is not affected by AI.
- When the ACL4_AUTO_INHERIT flag in the acl of a directory is set and
a file or subdirectory is created in that directory, files created in
the directory will have the ACL4_AUTO_INHERIT flag set, and all
inherited aces will have the ACE4_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 ACL4_PROTECTED acl flag in the acl of a file is set, AI will
not modify the acl of the file. 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 without setting the file
permission bits, so all files created inside a directory with
ACL4_AUTO_INHERIT set will also have the ACL4_PROTECTED flag set. This
effectively disables AI.
Protocols which support creating files without specifying permissions
can explicitly clear the ACL4_PROTECTED flag after creating a file (and
reset the file masks to "undo" applying the create mode; see
richacl_compute_max_masks()). This is a workaround; a per-create or
per-process flag indicating to ignore the create mode when AI is in
effect would fix this problem.
