3.16.57-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "Michael Kerrisk (man-pages)" <mtk.manpages@xxxxxxxxx> commit 9c87bcf0a31b338dc8a69a5d251a037565a94e13 upstream. This is an optional patch, to provide a small performance improvement. Alter account_pipe_buffers() so that it returns the new value in user->pipe_bufs. This means that we can refactor too_many_pipe_buffers_soft() and too_many_pipe_buffers_hard() to avoid the costs of repeated use of atomic_long_read() to get the value user->pipe_bufs.
