hh->fd_objref is set, for pipes, in fs/pipe.c (outcome of the move to f_ops).
So the problem is that the field isn't explicitly zeroed otherwise. I'll fix
that for the next round. Meanwhile, you can add:

	hh->fd_objref = 0;

in cr_write_file() before the call to file->f_ops->checkpoint().

Thanks,

Oren.
