Not sure if you can reproduce this bug easily, if so could you test
following patch ?

Problem is that bipe->buffers can change anytime if we dont lock the
pipe mutex. So we must store in spd a new nr_pages_max field to shadow
pipe->buffers for the duration of the syscall.

Bug introduced in commit 35f3d14dbbc ( pipe: add support for shrinking
and growing pipes )

Thanks
