The amount of pipe->buffers is basically controlled by userspace by fcntl(... F_SETPIPE_SZ ...) so it could be large. High order allocations could be slow (if memory is heavily fragmented) or may fail if the order is larger than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER.
Since the 'bufs' doesn't need to be physically contiguous, use the kvmalloc_array() to allocate memory. If high order page isn't available, the kvamalloc*() will fallback to 0-order.
