+Subject: pipe: cap initial pipe capacity according to pipe-max-size limit
+
+From: Michael Kerrisk (man-pages) <mtk.manpages@gmail.com>
+
+commit 086e774a57fba4695f14383c0818994c0b31da7c upstream.
+
+This is a patch that provides behavior that is more consistent, and
+probably less surprising to users. I consider the change optional, and
+welcome opinions about whether it should be applied.
+
+By default, pipes are created with a capacity of 64 kiB.  However,
+/proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size may be set smaller than this value.  In this
+scenario, an unprivileged user could thus create a pipe whose initial
+capacity exceeds the limit. Therefore, it seems logical to cap the
+initial pipe capacity according to the value of pipe-max-size.
+
+The test program shown earlier in this patch series can be used to
+demonstrate the effect of the change brought about with this patch:
+
+    # cat /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size
+    1048576
+    # sudo -u mtk ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1
+    Initial pipe capacity: 65536
+    # echo 10000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size
+    # cat /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size
+    16384
+    # sudo -u mtk ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1
+    Initial pipe capacity: 16384
+    # ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1
+    Initial pipe capacity: 65536
+
+The last two executions of 'test_F_SETPIPE_SZ' show that pipe-max-size
+caps the initial allocation for a new pipe for unprivileged users, but
+not for privileged users.
