Hello Oleg,

Thank you for the review.

The whole series look "obviously" good to me,

But damn ;) lets look at round_pipe_size(),

	unsigned int round_pipe_size(unsigned int size)
	{
		if (size > (1U << 31))
			return 0;

		/* Minimum pipe size, as required by POSIX */
		if (size < PAGE_SIZE)
			return PAGE_SIZE;

		return roundup_pow_of_two(size);
	}

it is a bit silly to allow the maximum size == 1U << 31 in pipe_set_size()
or (more importantly) in /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size, and then nack nr_slots
in pipe_resize_ring().

So perhaps this check should go into round_pipe_size() ? Although I can't
suggest a simple/clear check without unnecesary restrictions for the case
when pipe_index_t is u16.

pipe_resize_ring() has another caller, watch_queue_set_size(), but it has
its own hard limits...

"nr_notes" for watch queues cannot cross 512 so we should be covered there.
As for round_pipe_size(), we can do:

Since pipe_resize_ring() can be called without actually looking at
"pipe_max_size" as is the case with watch queues, we can either keep the
check in pipe_resize_ring() as well out of paranoia or get rid of it
since the current users are within the bounds.

Thoughts?


Oleg.
