There is a special ACE used by some servers to allow the mode bits to be stored. This can be especially helpful in scenarios in which the client is trusted, and access checking on the client vs the POSIX mode bits is sufficient. Add mount option to allow enabling this behavior. Follow on patch will add support for chmod and queryinfo (stat) by retrieving the POSIX mode bits from the special ACE, SID: S-1-5-88-3 See e.g. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/hh509017(v=ws.10) Signed-off-by: Steve French <stfrench@microsoft.com> Reviewed-by: Ronnie Sahlberg <lsahlber@redhat.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
