Subject: [PATCH] unshare: Error if passed unsupported flags
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=06f9d4f94a075285d25253edbf57f2cda07d4ff3;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

[PATCH] unshare: Error if passed unsupported flags

A bare bones trivial patch to ensure we always get -EINVAL on the
unsupported cases for sys_unshare.  If this goes in before 2.6.16 it allows
us to forward compatible with future applications using sys_unshare.
