    [PATCH] introduce a "kernel-internal pipe object" abstraction · 3a326a2c
    Ingo Molnar authored
    separate out the 'internal pipe object' abstraction, and make it
    usable to splice. This cleans up and fixes several aspects of the
    internal splice APIs and the pipe code:
    
     - pipes: the allocation and freeing of pipe_inode_info is now more symmetric
       and more streamlined with existing kernel practices.
    
     - splice: small micro-optimization: less pointer dereferencing in splice
       methods
