[PATCH v3 0/2] libfs: set SB_I_NOEXEC and SB_I_NODEV in init_pseudo()

[John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com>]

This began as a one-line dma-buf fix for a path_noexec() warning added
by commit 1e7ab6f67824 ("anon_inode: rework assertions"). Christoph
pointed out that the fix belongs higher up: a pseudo filesystem has no
reason not to set SB_I_NOEXEC by default. This series does that.

  * Patch 1 sets both flags in init_pseudo(), so every pseudo
    filesystem gets them. This is the only patch that changes a flag,
    and the only one with Fixes:/Cc: stable.

  * Patch 2 drops the assignments that are now redundant in the callers
    that set them by hand.

Most callers already set one or both flags. I audited every
init_pseudo() caller. Here is what patch 1 actually changes for each.
The only visible effect is on dma-buf, where SB_I_NOEXEC silences the
warning. SB_I_NODEV is never consulted on these SB_NOUSER mounts, and
none of the callers that gain SB_I_NOEXEC are executed from.
