PIPE questions for Linux 2.4 setup
LittleBit
Posts: 1
We wanted to increase PIPE_SIZE (from 4K to 8K on linux 2.4 on an AMD LX800 system).
The result is a segmentation error as soon as Read() is reading more data than 4K from the pipe.
So pipe data seems to be damaged.
If we change PIPE_SIZE back tot 4K everything is running fine.
Question-1: Any suggestion to prevent this segmentation error ?
* PIPE_SIZE
If you look in the linux kernel code for PIPE_SIZE
("include/linux/pipe_fs_i.h") you find:
#define PIPE_SIZE PAGE_SIZE
I don't know if #define PIPE_SIZE PAGE_SIZE is necessary or just a simple shortcut.
Question-2: Is it OK if PIPE_SIZE > PAGE_SIZE ?
* PAGE_SIZE
Question-3: Is it OK to increase Page_size on linux 2.4 on AMD LX800 system ?
Which aspects are limiting the user to config the PAGE_SIZE ?

Hi,
There's a patch to increase pipe capacity at http://lse.sourceforge.net/pipe/.
Pipe capacity, however, is not the same as PIPE_BUF, which is the maximum size of a guaranteed atomic write (please correct me on this if I'm wrong).
The patch above doesn't affect PIPE_BUF though.
Judging from the code of the patch, however, the approach they took is to allocate multiple pages to increase PIPE_SIZE. So my partially educated guess would be answering your Q2 with a 'no'
If you don't mind me asking, why do you need to increase the page size?
Cheers,
Vlad0
