-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Jens Axboe After the inode slimming patch that unionised i_pipe/i_bdev/i_cdev, it's no longer enough to check for existance of ->i_pipe to verify that this is a pipe. Original patch from Eric Dumazet Final solution suggested by Linus.
