[patch -mm] utsname namespace : fix unshare when CONFIG_UTS_NS is not set

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If the kernel is not configured with the CONFIG_UTS_NS, unshare of
ipc namespace will fail and return -EINVAL.

The patch changes the dummy unshare_utsname() to check the clone flags
before returning.
