It looks like the execution permissions (+x) got lost during the backports of these new files.

The issue is that some CIs don't execute these tests without that.

I'm not sure why they got lost, maybe Quilt doesn't support that? But then, can this patch still be applied? The same patch can be applied up to v5.10. In v5.10, only mptcp_connect_mmap.sh file is present, but I can send a dedicated patch for v5.10.

This is going to be a pain to apply, given that we use quilt, and that does not handle modes well, if at all.

So yes, that is why these files are not marked executable, but I thought we were moving away from that anyway, most scripts should not be marked that way.

I see. I should be able to find a solution:

- some CIs use kselftest's runner.sh script, and kernels >= 5.10 have a fix thanks to 303f8e2d0200 ("selftests/kselftest/runner/run_one(): allow running non-executable files"): it prints a warning, so I thought I had to fix it, but fine to keep the warning and drop the fix.

- Others try to execute the scripts directly, but I should be able to fix those.

Cheers, Matt
