5.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 878f12dbb8f514799d126544d59be4d2675caac3 ] Al Viro pointed out that using the phrase "close_on_exec(fd, rcu_dereference_raw(current->files->fdt))" instead of wrapping it in rcu_read_lock(), rcu_read_unlock() is a very questionable optimization[1]. Once wrapped with rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() that phrase becomes equivalent the helper function get_close_on_exec so simplify the code and make it more robust by simply using get_close_on_exec.
