From 06f9d4f94a075285d25253edbf57f2cda07d4ff3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2006 00:07:40 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [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. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
