Kees Cook wrote this patch, which is in Andrew Morton's tree, but I
think you're talking about O_MAYEXEC, not this patch specifically.

Al Viro and Jann Horn expressed such concerns for O_MAYEXEC:

This patch is just a refactoring.

About O_MAYEXEC, path-based LSM, IMA and IPE need to work on a struct
file, whereas inode_permission() only gives a struct inode. However,
faccessat2(2) (with extended flags) seems to be the perfect candidate if
we want to be able to check file descriptors.

Why would it be more maintainable?
