vfs_acl_xattr sets "inherit acls = yes" automatically.

"inherit acls = yes" makes permission of files newly created inherited
from the default acls of their parent directory regardless of create mask or
such kind of parameters.

If neither "inherit acls" nor "inherit permissions" is set, you are right.
