[PATCH 0/7] pipe: buffer limits fixes and cleanups

[Eric Biggers]

This series simplifies the sysctl handler for pipe-max-size and fixes
another set of bugs related to the pipe buffer limits:

- The root user wasn't allowed to exceed the limits when creating new
  pipes.

- There was an off-by-one error when checking the limits, so a limit of
  N was actually treated as N - 1.

- F_SETPIPE_SZ accepted values over UINT_MAX.

- Reading the pipe buffer limits could be racy.

Eric Biggers (7):
  pipe, sysctl: drop 'min' parameter from pipe-max-size converter
  pipe, sysctl: remove pipe_proc_fn()
  pipe: actually allow root to exceed the pipe buffer limits
  pipe: fix off-by-one error when checking buffer limits
  pipe: reject F_SETPIPE_SZ with size over UINT_MAX
  pipe: simplify round_pipe_size()
  pipe: read buffer limits atomically
