SubjectRe: Make pipe data structure be a circular list of pages, rather than
Hello.

pipe_writev:
> + if (bufs < PIPE_BUFFERS) {
> + ssize_t chars;
> + int newbuf = (info->curbuf + bufs) & (PIPE_BUFFERS-1);

If i understand this patch correctly, then this code

for (;;)
write(pipe_fd, &byte, 1);

will block after writing PIPE_BUFFERS == 16 characters, no?
And pipe_inode_info will use 64K to hold 16 bytes!

Is it ok?

May be it make sense to add data to the last allocated page
until buf->len > PAGE_SIZE ?

Oleg.
