Thanks for your reply,
but I believe those two things are orthogonal to each other. There
really is no reason for the keyctl hook to test for EXECUTABILITY of
decrypt_keyctl, only for PRESENCE, and then the only purpose of that
hook anyway is to reduce initramfs bloat and install only if needed.
And running mkinitramfs on a non-executable TMPDIR is possible (been
doing that for long time now), if you know what you're doing and don't
need it executable. While this particular problem can be easily
mitigated (via custom hook in /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/), simply
altering the unnecessary check for executability would satisfy both
cases.
Yes, I know, but but mkinitramfs(8)! However this is not a bug report
against mkinitramfs failing in non-exec TMPDIR, but about unnecessarily
specific test done by the keyctl hook.
Thanks for considering.
