I'm not completely sure what you're asking here.

Please try not to use terms like "the previous patch".  There are a lot
of patches!

I *think* you're saying that the patch "mm/memfd: add documentation for
MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL MFD_EXEC" (and its two fixups) are tied to the patch
"memfd: `MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL` should not imply `MFD_ALLOW_SEALING`".

If so then this escaped me and I shall rearrange the grouping to be
more logical.

The base patch "memfd: `MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL` should not imply `MFD_ALLOW_SEALING`" is in mm-unstable but I need to revisit the discussion to see whether we should be proceeding with it.  Any guidance you can offer here will be helpful.


Or I've totally misunderstood everything.  Please explain the entire
situation more thoroughly.
