Subject[PATCH] 2.4: Restore current->files in flush_old_exec
From
Hi:

The unshare_files patch to flush_old_exec() did not restore the original
state when exec_mmap fails. This patch fixes that.

At this point, I believe the unshare_files stuff should be fine from
a correctness point of view. However, there is still a performance
problem as every ELF exec call ends up dupliating the files structure
as well as walking through all file locks.

Cheers,
