commit 46c4c9d1beb7f5b4cec4dd90e7728720583ee348 upstream.
This program always prints 4096 and hangs before the patch, and always
prints 8192 and exits successfully after:
int main()
{
int pipefd[2];
for (int i = 0; i < 1025; i++)
if (pipe(pipefd) == -1)
return 1;
size_t bufsz = fcntl(pipefd[1], F_GETPIPE_SZ);
printf("%zd\n", bufsz);
char *buf = calloc(bufsz, 1);
write(pipefd[1], buf, bufsz);
read(pipefd[0], buf, bufsz-1);
write(pipefd[1], buf, 1);
}
Note that you may need to increase your RLIMIT_NOFILE before running the
program.

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.
