why not simply use non-blocking write?

I had thought I would use non-blocking write, but... If we now have a large buffer and a pipe with less capacity and O_NONBLOCK is set, would we ever be able to make write progress or always get EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK? Probably what we would need is O_NONBLOCK combined with a small amount of bytes to write, like in this patch.
