[PATCH] Introduce FMODE_EXEC file flag
Introduce FMODE_EXEC file flag, to indicate that file is being opened for execution. This is useful for distributed filesystems to maintain consistent behavior for returning ETXTBUSY when opening for write and execution happens on different nodes. akpm: Needed by Lustre at present. I assume their objective to to work towards being able to install Lustre on an unmodified distro kernel, which seems sane. It should have zero runtime cost. Trond and Chuck indicate that NFS4 can probably use this too, for the same thing. Steven says it's also on the GFS todo list.
