Hi Andrew. I am not sure at all whether this patch is appreciated or not. The on-list query yielded no results, but I have to try. :) This patch removes the MNT_NOEXEC check for the PROT_EXEC mappings. That allows to mount tmpfs with "noexec" option without breaking the existing apps, which is what debian wants to do for sequrity reasons: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=386945 More details here: http://uwsg.ucs.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0609.2/1537.html Signed-off-by: Stas Sergeev
