Yes, yes, I am a troll!

Yes.

But, when you send the patch to Andrew, please remind that he
should remove the evidence of my ignorance from -mm first.


Just one note for the record, prctl_set_mm_exe_file() does

if (mm->num_exe_file_vmas)
return -EBUSY;

We could do

if (mm->exe_file)
return -EBUSY;

This way "because this feature is a special to C/R" becomes
really true. IOW, you can't do PR_SET_MM_EXE_FILE twice.

I am fine either way, just I want to ensure you really want
the current version.

Oleg.
