From: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@xxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit 7195ee3120d878259e8d94a5d9f808116f34d5ea upstream. It's not clear what behaviour is sensible when doing partial write of NT_METAG_RPIPE, so just don't bother. This patch assumes that userspace will never rely on a partial SETREGSET in this case, since it's not clear what should happen anyway.
