61 * Note on the nesting of these functions:
63 * ->confirm()
64 * ->steal()
65 * ...
66 * ->map()
67 * ...
68 * ->unmap()
70 * That is, ->map() must be called on a confirmed buffer,
71 * same goes for ->steal(). See below for the meaning of each
72 * operation. Also see kerneldoc in fs/pipe.c for the pipe
73 * and generic variants of these hooks.

77 * This is set to 1, if the generic pipe read/write may coalesce
78 * data into an existing buffer. If this is set to 0, a new pipe
79 * page segment is always used for new data.
81 int can_merge;
84 * ->map() returns a virtual address mapping of the pipe buffer.
85 * The last integer flag reflects whether this should be an atomic
86 * mapping or not. The atomic map is faster, however you can't take
87 * page faults before calling ->unmap() again. So if you need to eg
88 * access user data through copy_to/from_user(), then you must get
89 * a non-atomic map. ->map() uses the KM_USER0 atomic slot for
90 * atomic maps, so you can't map more than one pipe_buffer at once
91 * and you have to be careful if mapping another page as source
92 * or destination for a copy (IOW, it has to use something else
93 * than KM_USER0).

103 * ->confirm() verifies that the data in the pipe buffer is there
104 * and that the contents are good. If the pages in the pipe belong
105 * to a file system, we may need to wait for IO completion in this
106 * hook. Returns 0 for good, or a negative error value in case of
107 * error.

113 * consumed by a reader, ->release() is called.

118 * Attempt to take ownership of the pipe buffer and its contents.
119 * ->steal() returns 0 for success, in which case the contents
120 * of the pipe (the buf->page) is locked and now completely owned
121 * by the caller. The page may then be transferred to a different
122 * mapping, the most often used case is insertion into different
123 * file address space cache.
