As commit 0fd338b2d2cd move path_noexec to may_open, and add recheck at end. This kind of repeated check is unnecessary, because it also occurs in some scenarios. Even if we guarantee the order of the file opening and remounting process, there will still be binaries executing under the noexec file system. The current process can at least ensure that binary files cannot be executed after the file system is remounted into noexec. So it is safe to delete this check Fixes:0fd338b2d2cd("exec: move path_noexec() check earlier") Signed-off-by: Ye Bin <yebin10@xxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/exec.c | 21 --------------------- 1 file changed, 21 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/exec.c b/fs/exec.c index f2cde361bdb1..3419c4158a70 100644 --- a/fs/exec.c +++ b/fs/exec.c @@ -140,16 +140,6 @@ SYSCALL_DEFINE1(uselib, const char __user *, library) if (IS_ERR(file)) goto out; - /* - * may_open() has already checked for this, so it should be - * impossible to trip now.
