Re: [PATCH 02/18] fs: add get_acl helper

Christoph,

+struct posix_acl *get_acl(struct inode *inode, int type)
+{
+	struct posix_acl *acl;
+
+	acl = get_cached_acl(inode, type);
+	if (acl != ACL_NOT_CACHED)
+		return acl;
+
+	if (!IS_POSIXACL(inode))
+		return NULL;
+
+	/*
+	 * A filesystem can force a ACL callback by just never filling the
+	 * ACL cache. But normally you'd fill the cache either at inode
+	 * instantiation time, or on the first ->get_acl call.
+	 *
+	 * If the filesystem doesn't have a get_acl() function at all, we'll
+	 * just create the negative cache entry.
+	 */
+	if (!inode->i_op->get_acl) {
+		set_cached_acl(inode, type, NULL);
+		return ERR_PTR(-EAGAIN);

The function should return NULL here.
