Is there a working NFSv4.1 reference implementation available and are there any instructs on how to build/install it?

The usual problem is that the umask is applied.

No, they all just do "posix" acls and nfsd tries to translate.

But the umask issue is somewhat of a separate issue.

We are implementing NFSv4.1 ACLs in the filesystem mostly to support
SMB/CIFS but I am seeing some strange behavior with ACL group
inheritance on children/grand-children using the nfs4_setfacl and
nfs4_getfacl on the parent directory. The problems are mostly with
inheritance on the @OWNER and @GROUP ACEs...

What I am looking for is a reference that I can use to validate ACL
inheritance behavior. Is there a distro that has a filesystem which supports
NFSv4 ACLs? Or ideally an rpm that I could install on a CentOS6 VM.
I have tried using the richacl mount option on OpenSUSE 13.1 but the
nfs4_getfacl command returns:
"Operation to request attribute not supported."
The fstab entry to mount the filesystem is:
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0QEMU_QEMU_HARDDISK_drive-scsi0-0-0-0-part3 \
/home ext4 acl,richacl,user_xattr 1 2

Do you have any recommendations as to what and how I can install
a filesystem that supports nfsv4 ACLs?

For "posix" ACLs on local linux filesystems, the umask is just ignored
in the case where we're creating a new file in a directory with
default (inheritable) ACLs.

In the v4 case that doesn't happen. I think this probably a bug that
needs to be fixed, but I'm not sure how.

Where can I find the proper behavior between umask and inheritance?

I don't recall seeing any, no.

(Most NFSv4.0 ACL implementations should still be perfectly compliant
with the NFSv4.1 spec too as far as I know. But I don't know of any
implementations of the ACL features that are new to RFC 5661. Is there
any particular feature that you're interested in?)
