[RFC,09/14] pipe: Add notification lossage handling [ver #2]

Commit Message

David Howells Nov. 7, 2019, 1:36 p.m. UTC

Add handling for loss of notifications by having read() insert a
loss-notification message after it has read the pipe buffer that was last
in the ring when the loss occurred.

Lossage can come about either by running out of notification descriptors or
by running out of space in the pipe ring.
