[PATCH] unshare: Error if passed unsupported flags
From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Sat Mar 18 2006 - 10:16:11 EST
This patch does 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.
