Al Viro 8520008417 fold __pipe_get_pages() into pipe_get_pages()
... and don't mangle maxsize there - turn the loop into counting
one instead.  Easier to see that we won't run out of array that
way.  Note that special treatment of the partial buffer in that
thing is an artifact of the non-advancing semantics of
iov_iter_get_pages() - if not for that, it would be append_pipe(),
same as the body of the loop that follows it.  IOW, once we make
iov_iter_get_pages() advancing, the whole thing will turn into
	calculate how many pages do we want
	allocate an array (if needed)
	call append_pipe() that many times.

README

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.
