The full permissions are indeed necessary for file/directory creation inside a
directory that has a default ACL. This is specified in Posix 1003.1e Draft
Standard 17 (withdrawn), <http://www.guug.de/~winni/posix.1e/download.html>.
What we did was move the umask merging code that was in the VFS into the
filesystem code. In ext2, that also cleaned up some oddities around
ext2_new_inode(). The patch was designed not to change the semantics of the
current code.
Your function really does a different thing (which doesn't mean it shouldn't be
done).
