The HFS+ Access Control Lists have not worked at all for the past five
years, and nobody seems to have noticed. Besides, POSIX draft ACLs are
not compatible with MacOS. Drop the feature entirely.

Bugs need to be fixed but not to drop. Otherwise, it needs to drop the
whole HFS+ support from the kernel.

Thanks,

By the way, we have richacl in the kernel now. You can implement
richacl support in HFS+. It will be the more natural way to support
NFS-like ACLs.

Thanks,

Yes, we could make it depend on BROKEN and hope that someone comes
along and fixes it - there's little cost in carrying such a thing.

Or maybe it can never work for some reason and should indeed be
dropped, I don't know.  I was interested in understanding the reasoning
behind hch's ack, but I can't find it on linux-fs-devel.  Help?

Sure, it's an old discussion:

https://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=150813973409081&w=2

It's actually pretty easy to get it to work and I first sent patches to
do just that, but I was talked out of it.

The issue is that hfsplus supports it's own NFSv4-like ACLs, which
are nothing like the Posix ACLs supported by the Linux driver.  Or
in other words: they were always a Linux-only incompatible extension
that should never have been merged.

The richacls subsystem was not in the kernel at the time of ACL support
implementation. So, the idea of Linux-like ACLs in HFS+ was not to be
compatible with MAC OS X. The goal was to provide the opportunity to
use the ACLs only in Linux if anybody likes this. The MAC OS X will
ignore such xattrs.

As far as I can see, the ACL subsystem in HFS+ stops to work after
Christoph's reworking the ACL subsystem in the Linux. So, we have
richacls subsystem in the Linux kernel now. I believe that it makes
sense to implement the richacls support in HFS+ at first. Then we can
discuss to drop or not to drop the current ACL implementation in HFS+. 

Also, there is CONFIG_HFSPLUS_FS_POSIX_ACL option that provides
opportunity to exclude the ACL support in HFS+ from the compilation.

Thanks,
Vyacheslav Dubeyko.

Richacls are *not* in the kernel yet.
