I've found a behaviour got changed from v6.1 to v6.2-rc1 on ext3 (ext4).

----------------------------------------
on v6.1
+ ls -ld /dev/shm/rw/hd-test/newdir
drwxrwsr-x 2 nobody nogroup 1024 Dec 27 14:46 /dev/shm/rw/hd-test/newdir

+ getfacl -d /dev/shm/rw/hd-test/newdir
# file: dev/shm/rw/hd-test/newdir
# owner: nobody
# group: nogroup
# flags: -s-

----------------------------------------
on v6.2-rc1
+ ls -ld /dev/shm/rw/hd-test/newdir
drwxrwsr-x+ 2 nobody nogroup 1024 Dec 27 23:51 /dev/shm/rw/hd-test/newdir

+ getfacl -d /dev/shm/rw/hd-test/newdir
# file: dev/shm/rw/hd-test/newdir
# owner: nobody
# group: nogroup
# flags: -s-
user::rwx
user:root:rwx
group::r-x
mask::rwx
other::r-x

----------------------------------------

- in the output from 'ls -l', the extra '+' appears
- in the output from 'getfacl -d', some lines are appended
- in those lines, I am not sure whether 'user:root:rwx' is correct or
  not. Even it is correct, getfacl on v6.1 didn't produce such lines.

Is this change intentional?
In other words, is this patch series for a bugfix?
