This warning is telling userspace developers to pass MFD_EXEC and MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL to memfd_create(). Commit 434ed3350f57 ("memfd: improve userspace warnings for missing exec-related flags") made the warning more frequent and visible in the hope that this would accelerate the fixing of errant userspace. But the overall effect is to generate far too much dmesg noise.

Linux kernel ============ 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 Restructured Text 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.
