Commit 2a010c4128 ("fs: don't block i_writecount during exec") removed
the legacy behavior of getting ETXTBSY on attempt to open and executable
file for write while it is being executed.
This commit was reverted because an application that depends on this
legacy behavior was broken by the change.
We need to allow HSM writing into executable files while executed to
fill their content on-the-fly.
To that end, disable the ETXTBSY legacy behavior for files that are
watched by pre-content events.
This change is not expected to cause regressions with existing systems
which do not have any pre-content event listeners.

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use make htmldocs or
make pdfdocs. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
