[PATCH 3.12 108/142] metag/ptrace: Reject partial NT_METAG_RPIPE writes

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Mon Apr 10 2017 - 11:42:30 EST


From: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@xxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me 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.
