From
SubjectPatch to sys_shmdt
Date
	Currently sys_shmdt() always returns success.  Below is a patch that changes
this behavior to match the man page. This patch will cause sys_shmdt() to
return success only when it finds something to detach, and returns EINVAL
otherwise. The patch was run on a 2.4.10 kernel tree, but applies against a 2.4.12
tree with no problems.
