The patch titled exec: remove unnecessary check for MNT_NOEXEC has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was exec-remove-unnecessary-check-for-mnt_noexec.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: exec: remove unnecessary check for MNT_NOEXEC From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx> vfs_permission(MAY_EXEC) checks if the filesystem is mounted with "noexec", so there's no need to repeat this check in sys_uselib() and open_exec().
