Good point. That sounds like for the !fc->posix_acl case we just
need a careful use of "forget_all_cached_acls(inode)".

I will take a quick look at that, and see if that is easy/sufficient to
cover the legacy fuse case. Otherwise I will go with what I already
have here.

That feels like a better path. And internally I would call what is
today fc->posix_acl fc->cached_posix_acl. To better convey the intent.
Fingers crossed.

Eric
