This note is only about the "limits: setrlimit pipebuf:
Invalid argument" notice.

The main [so: 15] pipebuf related commits were done during
2024-Sep-20 UTC. If one has a kernel that predates those but
a world for which limits now tries to use the new pipebuf
material, the result is messages like that:

limits: setrlimit pipebuf: Invalid argument

(or related such messages).


For reference for main [so: 15]:

The combination of an older kernel and a newer world will not be
nicely behaved when any non-kernel code from the above ends up
involved.


stable/14 has now also had the commits:

Again, the combination of an older kernel and a newer world will not be
nicely behaved.
