It's a huge piece of work, so while he's pulled in some minor bits, a lot remains left to review. We plan to hold an NFSv4 ACL session at BSDCan, although I hope that we will be able to get quite a bit of it into the tree before then. Rick Macklem also has patches to expose Edward's NFSv4-semantic ACLs via his NFSv4 server code (and possibly also the client side?). Among other complex aspects to the change, the ACL ABI for system calls is significantly changed, there are significant VFS changes, and we need to review the merging of POSIX.1e/NTFS/SMB/CIFS/NFSv4/Solaris/Apple ACLs and make sure we ended up with a model that will satisfy application developers, etc. Robert N M Watson Computer Laboratory University of Cambridge
