Hello, all.
I have the following problem with posix_fadvise :
the system call succeeds on a pipe or FIFO, although it has to fail with 
ESPIPE (EINVAL on linux) return value.
Looks like a kernel bug.
I've attached a small test for posix_fadvise and a patch for linux 
kernel 2.6.14 that fixes the problem.
The patch makes posix_fadvise return ESPIPE on FIFO/pipe in order to be 
fully POSIX-compliant.
Please, take a look at these.
Thanks.
