WARNON(path_noexec(&file->f_path)) // path_noexec() checks fail

Did you encounter this in the real world?
I found the problem by running fuzz test.(syzkaller)

Here is a brief reproducer.
1. Apply diff
2. Complie and run repo.c

You're saying this is a race condition? A concurrent remount causes
this warning?

It seems not an unreasonable thing to warn about. Perhaps since it's
technically reachable from userspace, it could be downgraded to
pr_warn(), but I certainly don't want to remove the checks.



I'd like to leave this as-is, since we _do_ want to find the cases where
we're about to allow an exec and a very important security check was NOT
handled.
I think removing redundant checking is okay,

do_open_execat/uselib has initialized the acc_mode and open_flag for exec file, the check is equivalent to check in may_open().

Remount(noexec) operations can alos happen after the latest check, double check has no means for the concurrent situation.

The MNT_NOEXEC flag only affects the open operation, it won't cause any problems that an opened bin file is executing in a non-exec mounted filesystem.
