You are right, there's a stupid bug in my poll patch:

p = kmalloc(PAGE_SIZE);
free_page((unsigned long)p);

This causes a memory leak for the slab control structures.

That's davem's original 
I rewrote it because I didn't like the nested loops. pipe_read() and
_write() were never easy to follow, and adding yet another set of goto &
for(;;) loops is IMHO a bad idea.

The main difference between my patch and davem's patch is that davem
uses zerocopy for exactly PAGE_SIZE sized transfers, I only use it for
transfers larger than PIPE_BUF.

<<<<< davem's patch
+       if (count >= PAGE_SIZE &&
+           !(filp->f_flags & O_NONBLOCK)) {
<<<<<<< my patch
+  if (count > PIPE_BUF && chars == PIPE_SIZE &&
+      (!(filp->f_flags & O_NONBLOCK))) {
<<<<<<<

On i386 PIPE_BUF is 4096, and thus

* davem's patch is faster, since glibc by default writes in 4096 byte
blocks
* davem's patch breaks apps that assume that write(,PIPE_BUF) after
poll(POLLOUT) never blocks, even for blocking pipes.

I've attached the newest versions of both patches.
