Subject: [PATCH] dup3: Return an error when oldfd == newfd.
The following commit:

take purely descriptor-related stuff from fcntl.c to file.c
was supposed to be just code motion, but it dropped the following two
lines:
if (unlikely(oldfd == newfd))
return -EINVAL;
from the dup3 system call. dup3 is not specified by POSIX, so Linux
can do what it likes. However the POSIX proposal for dup3 [1] states
that it should return an error if oldfd == newfd.
