There are only two kinds of pipe_buffer in the area used by ITER_PIPE. 1) anonymous - copy_to_iter() et.al. end up creating those and copying data there. They have zero ->offset, and their ->ops points to default_pipe_page_ops. 2) zero-copy ones - those come from copy_page_to_iter(), and page comes from caller. ->offset is also caller-supplied - it might be non-zero. ->ops points to page_cache_pipe_buf_ops. Move creation and insertion of those into helpers - push_anon(pipe, size) and push_page(pipe, page, offset, size) resp., separating them from the "could we avoid creating a new buffer by merging with the current head?" logics.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
