Subject: [PATCH] exec: restore EACCES of S_ISDIR execve()
Patch series "Fix S_ISDIR execve() errno".
Fix an errno change for execve() of directories, noticed by Marc Zyngier.
Along with the fix, include a regression test to avoid seeing this return
in the future.
This patch (of 2):
The return code for attempting to execute a directory has always been
EACCES. Adjust the S_ISDIR exec test to reflect the old errno instead of
the general EISDIR for other kinds of "open" attempts on directories.
Fixes: 633fb6ac3980 ("exec: move S_ISREG() check earlier")
