under heavy use when default ACLs were bgin inherited by new files
or directories. This is done by removing a bug in default ACL
reading, and improving error handling for this failure case:
- Move the setting of the buffer length (len) variable to above the
ACL type (ap->a_type) switch rather than having it only for
ACL_TYPE_ACCESS. Otherwise, the len variable is unitialized in
the ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT case, which generally worked right, but could
result in failure.
- Add a check for a short/long read of the ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT type from
the underlying EA, resulting in EPERM rather than passing a
potentially corrupted ACL back to the caller (resulting "cleaner"
failures if the EA is damaged: right now, the caller will almost
always panic in the presence of a corrupted EA). This code is similar
to code in the ACL_TYPE_ACCESS handling in the previous switch case.
- While I'm fixing this code, remove a redundant bzero() of the ACL
reader buffer; it need only be initialized above the acl_type
switch.
