[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. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Cc: JANAK DESAI <janak@us.ibm.com> Cc: <stable@kerenl.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
