Can we please call it FATTR4_WORD2_MODE_UMASK as in the patches in this series to better match what the attribute is called in draft-ietf-nfsv4-umask-02. Other than refreshing the patches and renaming FATTR4_WORD2_UMASK to FATTR4_WORD2_MODE_UMASK and NFS_CAP_UMASK to NFS_CAP_MODE_UMASK, the patches here are the same.
