Subject: [PATCH] NFSD: NFSv4 file creation neglects setting ACL
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
An NFSv4 client that sets an ACL with a named principal during file
creation retrieves the ACL afterwards, and finds that it is only a
default ACL (based on the mode bits) and not the ACL that was
requested during file creation. This violates RFC 8881 section
6.4.1.3: "the ACL attribute is set as given".
The issue occurs in nfsd_create_setattr(), which calls
nfsd_attrs_valid() to determine whether to call nfsd_setattr().
However, nfsd_attrs_valid() checks only for iattr changes and
security labels, but not POSIX ACLs. When only an ACL is present,
the function returns false, nfsd_setattr() is skipped, and the
POSIX ACL is never applied to the inode.
Subsequently, when the client retrieves the ACL, the server finds
no POSIX ACL on the inode and returns one generated from the file's
mode bits rather than returning the originally-specified ACL.

refresh vmcs01's controls instead of pending KVM_REQ_APICV_UPDATE as

vcpu_enter_guest(): KVM_REQ_APICV_UPDATE
-> kvm_vcpu_update_apicv()

CONFIG_BALLOON_COMPACTION
Patch series "powerpc/pseries/cmm: two smaller fixes".
Two smaller fixes identified while doing a bigger rework.
This patch (of 2):
We always have to initialize the balloon_dev_info, even when compaction is
not configured in: otherwise the containing list and the lock are left
uninitialized.
Likely not many such configs exist in practice, but let's CC stable to
be sure.
This was found by code inspection.

Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/pseries/cmm: call balloon_devinfo_init() also without
CONFIG_BALLOON_COMPACTION
Patch series "powerpc/pseries/cmm: two smaller fixes".
Two smaller fixes identified while doing a bigger rework.
This patch (of 2):
We always have to initialize the balloon_dev_info, even when compaction is
not configured in: otherwise the containing list and the lock are left
uninitialized.
Likely not many such configs exist in practice, but let's CC stable to
be sure.
This was found by code inspection.
