IMO, this fs also doesn't use inode_init_owner, so it should be not 
affected. We add indo_sgid_strip into vfs, IMO, it only happen new sgid 
strip situation and doesn't happen to remove old sgid strip situation.
So I think it is "safe".

Agreed.

Yes, I think it is a bug.

You can verify this by setting
export MOUNT_OPTIONS='-o noacl'
in your xfstests config.

then in my setgid_create_umask test, you can add is_ixgrp check for 
tmpfile and it still have S_IXGRP mode(So yesterday, add additional 
check for this mode is meaningful).

For xfs, it seems doesn't have noacl mount options, just disable 
CONFIG_XFS_POSIX_ACL.
But, xfs doesn't have this problem becuase it doesn't put 
posix_acl_create under CONFIG_XFS_POSIX_ACL situation.

I think we should add this umask stripping  here and also should
put xfs posix_acl_create code into  CONFIG_XFS_POSIX_ACL situation.

@Darrick  What do you think the xfs code change ?

Sound reasonable. I will think of it.
