There is definitely an issue here.

The warn on comes from:
/*
* may_open() has already checked for this, so it should be
* impossible to trip now. But we need to be extra cautious
* and check again at the very end too.
*/
err = -EACCES;
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!S_ISREG(file_inode(file)->i_mode) ||
path_noexec(&file->f_path)))
goto exit;

Where path_noexec is:
return (path->mnt->mnt_flags & MNT_NOEXEC) ||
(path->mnt->mnt_sb->s_iflags & SB_I_NOEXEC);

So as is I think this can race with mount update *adding* noexec after
may_open() returned but before the code gets to recheck.

I suspect i_mode can also change in the time window.

However, the reproducer does not try to race anything so this is not why
the warn.

>From my reading the kernel always lands in may_open() (as in, not
fs-specific) so as is I'm puzzled as to what happened. Maybe I'll try to
repro later.
