Subject: [TIPC]: Add argument validation for shutdown()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e247a8f5d018740220c66bd5df1928d21d277d63;p=linux-beck.git

[TIPC]: Add argument validation for shutdown()

This patch validates that the "how" argument to shutdown()
is SHUT_RDWR, since this is the only form that TIPC supports.
