So here's what you guys should do:
- leave O_NOATIME damn well alone. It works. It has worked for 10+
years. Stop arguing against it, people who do.
- get rid of all O_CLOEXEC games. They don't work. If you want to
close file descriptors at execve(), you - gasp - close the file
descriptor before doing an execve.
So O_CLOEXEC or FD_CLOEXEC is broken.
DO NOT BREAK O_NOATIME JUST TO ADD COMPLETELY NEW BREAKAGE.
