(David's original patch contained 2 bugs: it doesn't protect properly against multiple writers and it causes a BUG() in pipe_read() when data is stored in both the kiobuf and the normal buffer) A couple months ago David posted a revised version of his patch which fixed both these and some other problems. Most of the fixes were done by Alexey Kuznetsov. Later, David S.
