Hi Ralph, 

Thanks a lot for the patchset. I tried it with our setup and with following options:
        nfs4acl_xattr:encoding = nfs
        nfs4acl_xattr:validate_mode = yes
        nfs4acl_xattr:nfs4_id_numeric = yes
        nfs4acl_xattr:xattr_name = system.nfs4_acl

I could test the basic get and set ACL operations over SMB client on windows. Since this patchset has more functionality with respect to compatibility with various versions, we are good to go with this one. I think the approach is similar to adding "xdr40" encoding in my latest patchset with some more changes. 

Now, the important question is, when do we plan to push the commit in master and which version of Samba release we can expect to have these changes?
We also have tight schedules for deliverables due to customer requirements and it will help if we get to know the timelines. 

Thanks
Sandeep
