From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@redhat.com> [ Upstream commit 4f8be1f53bf615102d103c0509ffa9596f65b718 ] The NFSv4 protocol doesn't have any notion of reomoving an attribute, so removexattr(path,"system.nfs4_acl") doesn't make sense. There's no documented return value. Arguably it could be EOPNOTSUPP but I'm a little worried an application might take that to mean that we don't support ACLs or xattrs. How about EINVAL?
