Shankara reports that running Syskaller with UBSAN causes this message:
UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in ./include/linux/log2.h:57:13
Syzkaller is trying to set the pipe size to 0UL. The call chain is:
pipe_set_size(pipe, 0UL)
...
size = round_pipe_size(arg); // arg == 0UL
which does
nr_pages = (size + PAGE_SIZE - 1) >> PAGE_SHIFT; // = 0UL
return roundup_pow_of_two(nr_pages) << PAGE_SHIFT;
which is undefined when the argument is 0... and which calls
fls_long(-1) // == 64
and then returns 1UL << 64. This is where UBSAN kicks in.
The fcntl() man page [http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/fcntl.2.html]
says that:
Attempts to set the pipe capacity below the page size are
silently rounded up to the page size.
We could try to fix the basic low-level functions to handle 0 (where
<linux/log2.h> says the result is undefined when n == 0), but the safest
path for now is probably just to patch fs/pipe.c to make the documented
default happen when arg is 0.

We could just return -EINVAL when arg == 0, but we don't know how that might
adversely affect some programs.
