Fix POSIX ACL permission check
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
After commit 3567866: "RCUify freeing acls, let check_acl() go ahead in
RCU mode if acl is cached" posix_acl_permission is being called with an
unsupported flag and the permission check fails. This patch fixes the issue.
