From 9167b0b9a0ab7907191523f5a0528e3b9c288e21 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2006 20:06:03 -0400 Subject: VFS: Remove redundant open-coded mode bit check in prepare_binfmt(). The check in prepare_binfmt() for inode->i_mode & 0111 is redundant, since open_exec() will already have done that.
