Subject: [PATCH 3.16 210/410] pipe, sysctl: drop 'min' parameter from
 pipe-max-size converter

3.16.57-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com>

commit 4c2e4befb3cc9ce42d506aa537c9ab504723e98c upstream.

Patch series "pipe: buffer limits fixes and cleanups", v2.

This series simplifies the sysctl handler for pipe-max-size and fixes
another set of bugs related to the pipe buffer limits:

- The root user wasn't allowed to exceed the limits when creating new
  pipes.

- There was an off-by-one error when checking the limits, so a limit of
  N was actually treated as N - 1.

- F_SETPIPE_SZ accepted values over UINT_MAX.

- Reading the pipe buffer limits could be racy.

This patch (of 7):

Before validating the given value against pipe_min_size,
do_proc_dopipe_max_size_conv() calls round_pipe_size(), which rounds the
value up to pipe_min_size.  Therefore, the second check against
pipe_min_size is redundant.  Remove it.
