Hi, 

Right now XFS can only support 21 ACLs.  I've changed some code to make it 
support more ACL items.  Basically I change all the "acl" structure in the
ACL handling function to dynamically allocated pointers. 

But it seems that if the maximum ACL number is increased to a large number, 
say 1000, very strange problems will happen. Kernel becomes unstable, oops with
ACL related function.  If the number is set to 25(default), everything is fine.
No problems.  I don't see obvious errors in the XFS ACL code.  Are there any 
ideas why this happens?   Thanks.

The attachment is a patch which is based on XFS 1.0.1 release.
