32.Sh NAME
33.Nm genfs_can_access_acl_nfs4
34.Nd generate a NFSv4 ACL access control decision using vnode parameters
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36.In miscfs/genfs/genfs.h
37.Ft int
38.Fo genfs_can_access_acl_nfs4
39 genfs_can_access_acl_nfs4(struct vnode *, kauth_cred_t, uid_t, gid_t,
40     mode_t, struct acl *, accmode_t)
41.Fa "struct vnode *vp"
42.Fa "kath_cred_t cred"
43.Fa "uid_t file_uid"

49.Sh DESCRIPTION
50This call implements the logic for the
51.Ux
52discretionary file security model
53with NFSv4 ACL extensions.
54It accepts the vnode
55.Fa vp ,
56requesting credential
57.Fa cred ,
58owning UID
59.Fa file_uid ,
60owning GID
61.Fa file_gid ,
62file permissions
63.Fa file_mode ,
64access ACL for the file
65.Fa acl ,
66desired access mode
67.Fa accmode ,
68.Pp
69This call is intended to support implementations of
70.Xr VOP_ACCESS 9 ,
71which will use their own access methods to retrieve the vnode properties,
72and then invoke
73.Fn genfs_can_access_acl_nfs4
74in order to perform the actual check.
75Implementations of
76.Xr VOP_ACCESS 9
77may choose to implement additional security mechanisms whose results will
78be composed with the return value.
79.Pp
80The algorithm used by
81.Fn genfs_can_access_acl_nfs4
82is based on the NFSv4 ACL evaluation algorithm, as described in
83NFSv4 Minor Version 1, draft-ietf-nfsv4-minorversion1-21.txt.
84The algorithm selects a
85.Em matching
86entry from the access ACL, which may
87then be composed with an available ACL mask entry, providing
88.Ux
89security compatibility.
90.Pp
91Once appropriate protections are selected for the current credential,
92the requested access mode, in combination with the vnode type, will be
93compared with the discretionary rights available for the credential.
94If the rights granted by discretionary protections are insufficient,
95then super-user privilege, if available for the credential, will also be
96considered.
97.Sh RETURN VALUES
98.Fn genfs_can_access_acl_nfs4
99will return 0 on success, or a non-zero error value on failure.
100.Sh ERRORS
101.Bl -tag -width Er
102.It Bq Er EACCES
103Permission denied.
104An attempt was made to access a file in a way forbidden by its file access
105permissions.
106.It Bq Er EPERM
107Operation not permitted.
108An attempt was made to perform an operation limited to processes with
109appropriate privileges or to the owner of a file or other resource.
