[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 19/21] nfs: we don't support removing system.nfs4_acl

From: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-03-17 01:06:13
Also in: linux-nfs, lkml
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), nfs, sunrpc, and lockd clients, the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Trond Myklebust, Anna Schumaker, Linus Torvalds

From: "J. Bruce Fields" <redacted>

[ Upstream commit 4f8be1f53bf615102d103c0509ffa9596f65b718 ]

The NFSv4 protocol doesn't have any notion of reomoving an attribute, so
removexattr(path,"system.nfs4_acl") doesn't make sense.

There's no documented return value.  Arguably it could be EOPNOTSUPP but
I'm a little worried an application might take that to mean that we
don't support ACLs or xattrs.  How about EINVAL?
