Rasmus points out that we do indeed have other cases of breakage from the type changes that were introduced on 32-bit targets in order to read the pipe head and tail values atomically (commit3d252160b8: "fs/pipe: Read pipe->{head,tail} atomically outside pipe->mutex"). Fix it up by using the proper helper functions that now deal with the pipe buffer index types properly. This makes the code simpler and more obvious. The compiler does the CSE and loop hoisting of the pipe ring size masking that we used to do manually, so open-coding this was never a good idea.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
