The posix_acl_from_xattr() helper should mainly be used in i_op->get_acl() handlers. It translates from the uapi struct into the kernel internal POSIX ACL representation and doesn't care about mount idmappings. Use the vfs_set_acl_prepare() helper to generate a kernel internal POSIX ACL representation in struct posix_acl format taking care to map from the mount idmapping into the filesystem's idmapping. The returned struct posix_acl is in the correct format to be cached by the VFS or passed to the filesystem's i_op->set_acl() method to write to the backing store.

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.
