OK.

Correct.

No, "mode" is used in all situations when inode's mode is needed.
Technically, when inode is created or its mode is changed, the formula
for inode's mode calculation is as follows:
inode->mode &= sysfs_info->mode | ~0777;
So, all chmod()s would proceed, but don't relax permissions more than
"mode".
