[patch 0/13] NFSACL protocol extension for NFSv3

This patchset implements the NFSACL protocol extension, which consists of the GETACL and SETACL RPCs. I would appreciate to have these patches in -mm to give them more exposure. (This has nothing to do with NFSv4 acls, by the way.) The actual access decisions are performed using the ACCESS RPC

NFSv3 has no concept of a umask on the server side: The client applies the umask locally, and sends the effective permissions to the server. This behavior is wrong when files are created in a directory that has a default ACL. In this case, the umask is supposed to be ignored, and only the default
