[PATCH -V1 01/22] vfs: Add generic IS_ACL() test for acl support

From: Aneesh Kumar K.V
Date: Sun Apr 27 2014 - 12:16:25 EST


From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@xxxxxxxxxx>

When IS_POSIXACL() is true, the vfs does not apply the umask. Other acl
models will need the same exception, so introduce a separate IS_ACL()
test.

The IS_POSIX_ACL() test is still needed so that nfsd can determine when
the underlying file system supports POSIX ACLs (as opposed to some other
kind).
