Just FYI I sent a patch for this earlier with a bit more analysis,
although it probably no longer applies cleanly:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/8/12/215

Personally I felt it was cleaner to limit the argument passed to
round_pipe_size() instead of relying on the implicit long -> int
truncation. Anyway, feel free to crib from the patch and/or changelog.
