    [PATCH] binfmt_flat: don't check for EMFILE · df88912a

    Bernd Schmidt points out that binfmt_flat is now leaving the exec file open
    while the application runs.  This offsets all the application's fd numbers.
    We should have closed the file within exec(), not at exit()-time.
    
    But there doesn't seem to be a lot of point in doing all this just to avoid
    going over RLIMIT_NOFILE by one fd for a few microseconds.  So take the EMFILE
    checking out again.  This will cause binfmt_flat to again fail LTP's
    exec-should-return-EMFILE-when-fdtable-is-full test.  That test appears to be
    wrong anyway - Open Group specs say nothing about exec() returning EMFILE.
