I would still put an explicit check for the buffer size here, so that we
are sure that the complete combination of READ|WRITE|EXEC would fit, but
I guess that it's fine as long as this is an internal static function
and not part of the API.

Why are we allocating the buffer? Why not just prot_buf[512] ?

Also the cast to (char*) is never needed in C as void* is automatically
converted to any type of a pointer without explicit cast.


Otherwise it looks good. You can add my Reviewed-by: if you change the
malloc to an array on the stack.
