For those of us not "in the know", that apparently means branch secure_uffd_v5.9
of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security.git

Perhaps it would make more sense to resend your original patch series with this
fix folded in?

This introduces the opposite bug: now it's hardcoded to *not* use O_CLOEXEC,
instead of using the flag the user passed in the flags argument to the syscall.
