3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@xxxxxxx> 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.
