I would only check inside inode_permission() whether the file mode is any ---x permission and deny such open when file is opened with O_MAYEXEC under MNT_NOEXEC mount point New sysctl is indeed required to allow userspace that places scripts or libs under noexec mounts. fs.mnt_noexec_strict =0 (allow, e) , 1 (deny any file with --x permission), 2 (deny when O_MAYEXEC absent), for any file with ---x permissions)
