+/* posix_acl xlator will respond in different ways for access calls from
+ fuse and access calls from nfs. For fuse, checking op_ret is sufficient
+ to check whether the access call is successful or not. But for nfs the
+ mode of the access that is permitted is put into op_errno before unwind.
+ With syncop, the caller of syncop_access will not be able to get the
+ mode of the access despite call being successul (since syncop_access
+ returns only the op_ret collected in args).
+ Now, if access call is failed, then args.op_ret is returned to recognise
+ the failure. But if op_ret is zero, then the mode of access which is
+ set in args.op_errno is returned. Thus the caller of syncop_access
+ has to check whether the return value is less than zero or not. If the
+ return value it got is less than zero, then access call is failed.
+ If it is not, then the access call is successful and the value the caller
+ got is the mode of the access.
