I'm not sure I understand what you mean. When iop->set_richacl is
called with a richacl that is mode-equivalent, the file permission
bits need to be updated and any existing acl needs to be removed.
Doing this at the vfs level would result in two calls, iop->setattr
and iop->set_richacl, which can cause problems. To remove an existing
acl without setting the mode, set_richacl is called with a NULL
richacl.
__ext4_set_richacl() was split into __ext4_set_richacl() and
__ext4_remove_richacl() to align with the xfs code due to the
following comment from Dave Chinner:

Hm, that's what it does?
Thanks,
