Subject: VFS: Remove redundant open-coded mode bit check in prepare_binfmt().
X-Git-Tag: MMI-PSA29.97-13-9~47844^2~1
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9167b0b9a0ab7907191523f5a0528e3b9c288e21;p=GitHub%2FMotorolaMobilityLLC%2Fkernel-slsi.git

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.
