+ * mode_strip_umask - handle vfs umask stripping
+ * @dir: parent directory of the new inode
+ * @mode: mode of the new inode to be created in @dir
+ *
+ * In most filesystems, umask stripping depends on whether or not the
+ * filesystem supports POSIX ACLs. If the filesystem doesn't support it umask
+ * stripping is done directly in here. If the filesystem does support POSIX
+ * ACLs umask stripping is deferred until the filesystem calls
+ * posix_acl_create().
+ *
+ * Some filesystems (like NFSv4) also want to avoid umask stripping by the
+ * VFS, but don't support POSIX ACLs. Those filesystems can set SB_I_NOUMASK
+ * to get this effect without declaring that they support POSIX ACLs.
