2016-10-12pipe: cap initial pipe capacity according to pipe-max-size limitMichael Kerrisk (man-pages)1-0/+3
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.

2016-10-12pipe: make account_pipe_buffers() return a value, and use itMichael Kerrisk (man-pages)1-18/+18
This is an optional patch, to provide a small performance improvement. Alter account_pipe_buffers() so that it returns the new value in user->pipe_bufs. This means that we can refactor too_many_pipe_buffers_soft() and too_many_pipe_buffers_hard() to avoid the costs of repeated use of atomic_long_read() to get the value user->pipe_bufs.

2016-10-12pipe: fix limit checking in alloc_pipe_info()Michael Kerrisk (man-pages)1-7/+13
The limit checking in alloc_pipe_info() (used by pipe(2) and when opening a FIFO) has the following problems: (1) When checking capacity required for the new pipe, the checks against the limit in /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-{soft,hard} are made against existing consumption, and exclude the memory required for the new pipe capacity. As a consequence: (1) the memory allocation throttling provided by the soft limit does not kick in quite as early as it should, and (2) the user can overrun the hard limit. (2) As currently implemented, accounting and checking against the limits is done as follows: (a) Test whether the user has exceeded the limit. (b) Make new pipe buffer allocation. (c) Account new allocation against the limits. This is racey. Multiple processes may pass point (a) simultaneously, and then allocate pipe buffers that are accounted for only in step (c). The race means that the user's pipe buffer allocation could be pushed over the limit (by an arbitrary amount, depending on how unlucky we were in the race). [Thanks to Vegard Nossum for spotting this point, which I had missed.] This patch addresses the above problems as follows: * Alter the checks against limits to include the memory required for the new pipe. * Re-order the accounting step so that it precedes the buffer allocation. If the accounting step determines that a limit has been reached, revert the accounting and cause the operation to fail.

2016-10-12pipe: fix limit checking in pipe_set_size()Michael Kerrisk (man-pages)1-10/+31
The limit checking in pipe_set_size() (used by fcntl(F_SETPIPE_SZ)) has the following problems: (1) When increasing the pipe capacity, the checks against the limits in /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-{soft,hard} are made against existing consumption, and exclude the memory required for the increased pipe capacity. The new increase in pipe capacity can then push the total memory used by the user for pipes (possibly far) over a limit. This can also trigger the problem described next. (2) The limit checks are performed even when the new pipe capacity is less than the existing pipe capacity. This can lead to problems if a user sets a large pipe capacity, and then the limits are lowered, with the result that the user will no longer be able to decrease the pipe capacity. (3) As currently implemented, accounting and checking against the limits is done as follows: (a) Test whether the user has exceeded the limit. (b) Make new pipe buffer allocation. (c) Account new allocation against the limits. This is racey. Multiple processes may pass point (a) simultaneously, and then allocate pipe buffers that are accounted for only in step (c). The race means that the user's pipe buffer allocation could be pushed over the limit (by an arbitrary amount, depending on how unlucky we were in the race). [Thanks to Vegard Nossum for spotting this point, which I had missed.] This patch addresses the above problems as follows: * Perform checks against the limits only when increasing a pipe's capacity; an unprivileged user can always decrease a pipe's capacity. * Alter the checks against limits to include the memory required for the new pipe capacity. * Re-order the accounting step so that it precedes the buffer allocation. If the accounting step determines that a limit has been reached, revert the accounting and cause the operation to fail. The program below can be used to demonstrate problems 1 and 2, and the effect of the fix. The program takes one or more command-line arguments. The first argument specifies the number of pipes that the program should create. The remaining arguments are, alternately, pipe capacities that should be set using fcntl(F_SETPIPE_SZ), and sleep intervals (in seconds) between the fcntl() operations. (The sleep intervals allow the possibility to change the limits between fcntl() operations.) Problem 1 ========= Using the test program on an unpatched kernel, we first set some limits: # echo 0 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-soft # echo 1000000000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size # echo 10000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-hard # 40.96 MB Then show that we can set a pipe with capacity (100MB) that is over the hard limit # sudo -u mtk ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1 100000000 Initial pipe capacity: 65536 Loop 1: set pipe capacity to 100000000 bytes F_SETPIPE_SZ returned 134217728 Now set the capacity to 100MB twice. The second call fails (which is probably surprising to most users, since it seems like a no-op): # sudo -u mtk ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1 100000000 0 100000000 Initial pipe capacity: 65536 Loop 1: set pipe capacity to 100000000 bytes F_SETPIPE_SZ returned 134217728 Loop 2: set pipe capacity to 100000000 bytes Loop 2, pipe 0: F_SETPIPE_SZ failed: fcntl: Operation not permitted With a patched kernel, setting a capacity over the limit fails at the first attempt: # echo 0 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-soft # echo 1000000000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size # echo 10000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-hard # sudo -u mtk ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1 100000000 Initial pipe capacity: 65536 Loop 1: set pipe capacity to 100000000 bytes Loop 1, pipe 0: F_SETPIPE_SZ failed: fcntl: Operation not permitted There is a small chance that the change to fix this problem could break user-space, since there are cases where fcntl(F_SETPIPE_SZ) calls that previously succeeded might fail. However, the chances are small, since (a) the pipe-user-pages-{soft,hard} limits are new (in 4.5), and the default soft/hard limits are high/unlimited. Therefore, it seems warranted to make these limits operate more precisely (and behave more like what users probably expect). Problem 2 ========= Running the test program on an unpatched kernel, we first set some limits: # getconf PAGESIZE 4096 # echo 0 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-soft # echo 1000000000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size # echo 10000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-hard # 40.96 MB Now perform two fcntl(F_SETPIPE_SZ) operations on a single pipe, first setting a pipe capacity (10MB), sleeping for a few seconds, during which time the hard limit is lowered, and then set pipe capacity to a smaller amount (5MB): # sudo -u mtk ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1 10000000 15 5000000 & [1] 748 # Initial pipe capacity: 65536 Loop 1: set pipe capacity to 10000000 bytes F_SETPIPE_SZ returned 16777216 Sleeping 15 seconds # echo 1000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-hard # 4.096 MB # Loop 2: set pipe capacity to 5000000 bytes Loop 2, pipe 0: F_SETPIPE_SZ failed: fcntl: Operation not permitted In this case, the user should be able to lower the limit. With a kernel that has the patch below, the second fcntl() succeeds: # echo 0 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-soft # echo 1000000000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size # echo 10000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-hard # sudo -u mtk ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1 10000000 15 5000000 & [1] 3215 # Initial pipe capacity: 65536 # Loop 1: set pipe capacity to 10000000 bytes F_SETPIPE_SZ returned 16777216 Sleeping 15 seconds # echo 1000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-hard # Loop 2: set pipe capacity to 5000000 bytes F_SETPIPE_SZ returned 8388608 8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x--- /* test_F_SETPIPE_SZ.c (C) 2016, Michael Kerrisk; licensed under GNU GPL version 2 or later Test operation of fcntl(F_SETPIPE_SZ) for setting pipe capacity and interactions with limits defined by /proc/sys/fs/pipe-* files. */ #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <unistd.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int (*pfd)[2]; int npipes; int pcap, rcap; int j, p, s, stime, loop; if (argc < 2) { fprintf(stderr, "Usage: %s num-pipes " "[pipe-capacity sleep-time]...\n", argv[0]); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } npipes = atoi(argv[1]); pfd = calloc(npipes, sizeof (int [2])); if (pfd == NULL) { perror("calloc"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } for (j = 0; j < npipes; j++) { if (pipe(pfd[j]) == -1) { fprintf(stderr, "Loop %d: pipe() failed: ", j); perror("pipe"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } } printf("Initial pipe capacity: %d\n", fcntl(pfd[0][0], F_GETPIPE_SZ)); for (j = 2; j < argc; j += 2 ) { loop = j / 2; pcap = atoi(argv[j]); printf(" Loop %d: set pipe capacity to %d bytes\n", loop, pcap); for (p = 0; p < npipes; p++) { s = fcntl(pfd[p][0], F_SETPIPE_SZ, pcap); if (s == -1) { fprintf(stderr, " Loop %d, pipe %d: F_SETPIPE_SZ " "failed: ", loop, p); perror("fcntl"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } if (p == 0) { printf(" F_SETPIPE_SZ returned %d\n", s); rcap = s; } else { if (s != rcap) { fprintf(stderr, " Loop %d, pipe %d: F_SETPIPE_SZ " "unexpected return: %d\n", loop, p, s); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } } stime = (j + 1 < argc) ? atoi(argv[j + 1]) : 0; if (stime > 0) { printf(" Sleeping %d seconds\n", stime); sleep(stime); } } } exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); } 8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x--- Patch history: v2 * Switch order of test in 'if' statement to avoid function call (to capability()) in normal path.

[Thanks to Vegard Nossum] Quoting Vegard: The potential problem happens if the user passes a very large number which will overflow pipe->user->pipe_bufs.

2016-10-12pipe: refactor argument for account_pipe_buffers()Michael Kerrisk (man-pages)1-5/+5
This is a preparatory patch for following work. account_pipe_buffers() performs accounting in the 'user_struct'. There is no need to pass a pointer to a 'pipe_inode_info' struct (which is then dereferenced to obtain a pointer to the 'user' field). Instead, pass a pointer directly to the 'user_struct'. This change is needed in preparation for a subsequent patch that the fixes the limit checking in alloc_pipe_info() (and the resulting code is a little more logical).

2016-10-12pipe: relocate round_pipe_size() above pipe_set_size()Michael Kerrisk (man-pages)1-12/+12
Patch series "pipe: fix limit handling", v2. When changing a pipe's capacity with fcntl(F_SETPIPE_SZ), various limits defined by /proc/sys/fs/pipe-* files are checked to see if unprivileged users are exceeding limits on memory consumption. While documenting and testing the operation of these limits I noticed that, as currently implemented, these checks have a number of problems: (1) When increasing the pipe capacity, the checks against the limits in /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-{soft,hard} are made against existing consumption, and exclude the memory required for the increased pipe capacity. The new increase in pipe capacity can then push the total memory used by the user for pipes (possibly far) over a limit. This can also trigger the problem described next. (2) The limit checks are performed even when the new pipe capacity is less than the existing pipe capacity. This can lead to problems if a user sets a large pipe capacity, and then the limits are lowered, with the result that the user will no longer be able to decrease the pipe capacity. (3) As currently implemented, accounting and checking against the limits is done as follows: (a) Test whether the user has exceeded the limit. (b) Make new pipe buffer allocation. (c) Account new allocation against the limits. This is racey. Multiple processes may pass point (a) simultaneously, and then allocate pipe buffers that are accounted for only in step (c). The race means that the user's pipe buffer allocation could be pushed over the limit (by an arbitrary amount, depending on how unlucky we were in the race). [Thanks to Vegard Nossum for spotting this point, which I had missed.] This patch series addresses these three problems. This patch (of 8): This is a minor preparatory patch. After subsequent patches, round_pipe_size() will be called from pipe_set_size(), so place round_pipe_size() above pipe_set_size().

2016-09-28fs: Replace CURRENT_TIME with current_time() for inode timestampsDeepa Dinamani1-1/+1
CURRENT_TIME macro is not appropriate for filesystems as it doesn't use the right granularity for filesystem timestamps. Use current_time() instead. CURRENT_TIME is also not y2038 safe. This is also in preparation for the patch that transitions vfs timestamps to use 64 bit time and hence make them y2038 safe. As part of the effort current_time() will be extended to do range checks. Hence, it is necessary for all file system timestamps to use current_time(). Also, current_time() will be transitioned along with vfs to be y2038 safe. Note that whenever a single call to current_time() is used to change timestamps in different inodes, it is because they share the same time granularity.

2016-08-09mm: memcontrol: only mark charged pages with PageKmemcgVladimir Davydov1-3/+1
To distinguish non-slab pages charged to kmemcg we mark them PageKmemcg, which sets page->_mapcount to -512. Currently, we set/clear PageKmemcg in __alloc_pages_nodemask()/free_pages_prepare() for any page allocated with __GFP_ACCOUNT, including those that aren't actually charged to any cgroup, i.e. allocated from the root cgroup context. To avoid overhead in case cgroups are not used, we only do that if memcg_kmem_enabled() is true. The latter is set iff there are kmem-enabled memory cgroups (online or offline). The root cgroup is not considered kmem-enabled. As a result, if a page is allocated with __GFP_ACCOUNT for the root cgroup when there are kmem-enabled memory cgroups and is freed after all kmem-enabled memory cgroups were removed, e.g. # no memory cgroups has been created yet, create one mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test # run something allocating pages with __GFP_ACCOUNT, e.g. # a program using pipe dmesg | tail # remove the memory cgroup rmdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test we'll get bad page state bug complaining about page->_mapcount != -1: BUG: Bad page state in process swapper/0 pfn:1fd945c page:ffffea007f651700 count:0 mapcount:-511 mapping: (null) index:0x0 flags: 0x1000000000000000() To avoid that, let's mark with PageKmemcg only those pages that are actually charged to and hence pin a non-root memory cgroup.

2016-07-27pipe: account to kmemcgVladimir Davydov1-6/+26
Pipes can consume a significant amount of system memory, hence they should be accounted to kmemcg. This patch marks pipe_inode_info and anonymous pipe buffer page allocations as __GFP_ACCOUNT so that they would be charged to kmemcg. Note, since a pipe buffer page can be "stolen" and get reused for other purposes, including mapping to userspace, we clear PageKmemcg thus resetting page->_mapcount and uncharge it in anon_pipe_buf_steal, which is introduced by this patch. A note regarding anon_pipe_buf_steal implementation. We allow to steal the page if its ref count equals 1. It looks racy, but it is correct for anonymous pipe buffer pages, because: - We lock out all other pipe users, because ->steal is called with pipe_lock held, so the page can't be spliced to another pipe from under us. - The page is not on LRU and it never was. - Thus a parallel thread can access it only by PFN. Although this is quite possible (e.g. see page_idle_get_page and balloon_page_isolate) this is not dangerous, because all such functions do is increase page ref count, check if the page is the one they are looking for, and decrease ref count if it isn't. Since our page is clean except for PageKmemcg mark, which doesn't conflict with other _mapcount users, the worst that can happen is we see page_count > 2 due to a transient ref, in which case we false-positively abort ->steal, which is still fine, because ->steal is not guaranteed to succeed.

2016-04-04mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macrosKirill A. Shutemov1-3/+3
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch.

2016-01-20pipe: limit the per-user amount of pages allocated in pipesWilly Tarreau1-2/+45
On no-so-small systems, it is possible for a single process to cause an OOM condition by filling large pipes with data that are never read. A typical process filling 4000 pipes with 1 MB of data will use 4 GB of memory. On small systems it may be tricky to set the pipe max size to prevent this from happening. This patch makes it possible to enforce a per-user soft limit above which new pipes will be limited to a single page, effectively limiting them to 4 kB each, as well as a hard limit above which no new pipes may be created for this user. This has the effect of protecting the system against memory abuse without hurting other users, and still allowing pipes to work correctly though with less data at once. The limit are controlled by two new sysctls : pipe-user-pages-soft, and pipe-user-pages-hard. Both may be disabled by setting them to zero. The default soft limit allows the default number of FDs per process (1024) to create pipes of the default size (64kB), thus reaching a limit of 64MB before starting to create only smaller pipes. With 256 processes limited to 1024 FDs each, this results in 1024*64kB + (256*1024 - 1024) * 4kB = 1084 MB of memory allocated for a user. The hard limit is disabled by default to avoid breaking existing applications that make intensive use of pipes (eg: for splicing).

2015-11-11fs/pipe.c: return error code rather than 0 in pipe_write()Eric Biggers1-5/+4
pipe_write() would return 0 if it failed to merge the beginning of the data to write with the last, partially filled pipe buffer. It should return an error code instead. Userspace programs could be confused by write() returning 0 when called with a nonzero 'count'. The EFAULT error case was a regression from f0d1bec9d5 ("new helper: copy_page_from_iter()"), while the ops->confirm() error case was a much older bug. Test program: #include <assert.h> #include <errno.h> #include <unistd.h> int main(void) { int fd[2]; char data[1] = {0}; assert(0 == pipe(fd)); assert(1 == write(fd[1], data, 1)); /* prior to this patch, write() returned 0 here */ assert(-1 == write(fd[1], NULL, 1)); assert(errno == EFAULT); } Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # at least v3.15+ Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers3@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2015-11-11fs/pipe.c: preserve alloc_file() error codeEric Biggers1-3/+6
If sys_pipe() was unable to allocate a 'struct file', it always failed with ENFILE, which means "The number of simultaneously open files in the system would exceed a system-imposed limit." However, alloc_file() actually returns an ERR_PTR value and might fail with other error codes. Currently, in addition to ENFILE, it can fail with ENOMEM, potentially when there are few open files in the system. Update sys_pipe() to preserve this error code. In a prior submission of a similar patch (1) some concern was raised about introducing a new error code for sys_pipe(). However, for most system calls, programs cannot assume that new error codes will never be introduced. In addition, ENOMEM was, in fact, already a possible error code for sys_pipe(), in the case where the file descriptor table could not be expanded due to insufficient memory.

2013-12-02vfs: fix subtle use-after-free of pipe_inode_infoLinus Torvalds1-20/+19
The pipe code was trying (and failing) to be very careful about freeing the pipe info only after the last access, with a pattern like: spin_lock(&inode->i_lock); if (!--pipe->files) { inode->i_pipe = NULL; kill = 1; } spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock); __pipe_unlock(pipe); if (kill) free_pipe_info(pipe); where the final freeing is done last. HOWEVER. The above is actually broken, because while the freeing is done at the end, if we have two racing processes releasing the pipe inode info, the one that *doesn't* free it will decrement the ->files count, and unlock the inode i_lock, but then still use the "pipe_inode_info" afterwards when it does the "__pipe_unlock(pipe)". This is *very* hard to trigger in practice, since the race window is very small, and adding debug options seems to just hide it by slowing things down. Simon originally reported this way back in July as an Oops in kmem_cache_allocate due to a single bit corruption (due to the final "spin_unlock(pipe->mutex.wait_lock)" incrementing a field in a different allocation that had re-used the free'd pipe-info), it's taken this long to figure out. Since the 'pipe->files' accesses aren't even protected by the pipe lock (we very much use the inode lock for that), the simple solution is to just drop the pipe lock early. And since there were two users of this pattern, create a helper function for it. Introduced commit ba5bb147330a ("pipe: take allocation and freeing of pipe_inode_info out of ->i_mutex").

If you open a pipe for neither read nor write, the pipe code will not add any usage counters to the pipe, causing the 'struct pipe_inode_info" to be potentially released early. That doesn't normally matter, since you cannot actually use the pipe, but the pipe release code - particularly fasync handling - still expects the actual pipe infrastructure to all be there. And rather than adding NULL pointer checks, let's just disallow this case, the same way we already do for the named pipe ("fifo") case.

2012-06-01fs: introduce inode operation ->update_timeJosef Bacik1-2/+5
Btrfs has to make sure we have space to allocate new blocks in order to modify the inode, so updating time can fail. We've gotten around this by having our own file_update_time but this is kind of a pain, and Christoph has indicated he would like to make xfs do something different with atime updates. So introduce ->update_time, where we will deal with i_version an a/m/c time updates and indicate which changes need to be made. The normal version just does what it has always done, updates the time and marks the inode dirty, and then filesystems can choose to do something different. I've gone through all of the users of file_update_time and made them check for errors with the exception of the fault code since it's complicated and I wasn't quite sure what to do there, also Jan is going to be pushing the file time updates into page_mkwrite for those who have it so that should satisfy btrfs and make it not a big deal to check the file_update_time() return code in the generic fault path.

2012-04-30pipes: add a "packetized pipe" mode for writingLinus Torvalds1-2/+29
The actual internal pipe implementation is already really about individual packets (called "pipe buffers"), and this simply exposes that as a special packetized mode. When we are in the packetized mode (marked by O_DIRECT as suggested by Alan Cox), a write() on a pipe will not merge the new data with previous writes, so each write will get a pipe buffer of its own. The pipe buffer is then marked with the PIPE_BUF_FLAG_PACKET flag, which in turn will tell the reader side to break the read at that boundary (and throw away any partial packet contents that do not fit in the read buffer). End result: as long as you do writes less than PIPE_BUF in size (so that the pipe doesn't have to split them up), you can now treat the pipe as a packet interface, where each read() system call will read one packet at a time. You can just use a sufficiently big read buffer (PIPE_BUF is sufficient, since bigger than that doesn't guarantee atomicity anyway), and the return value of the read() will naturally give you the size of the packet. NOTE! We do not support zero-sized packets, and zero-sized reads and writes to a pipe continue to be no-ops. Also note that big packets will currently be split at write time, but that the size at which that happens is not really specified (except that it's bigger than PIPE_BUF). Currently that limit is the system page size, but we might want to explicitly support bigger packets some day. The main user for this is going to be the autofs packet interface, allowing us to stop having to care so deeply about exact packet sizes (which have had bugs with 32/64-bit compatibility modes). But user space can create packetized pipes with "pipe2(fd, O_DIRECT)", which will fail with an EINVAL on kernels that do not support this interface.
