Pipes use f_version to defer poll notifications until a write has been observed. Since multiple file's refer to the same struct pipe_inode_info in their ->private_data moving it into their isn't feasible since we would need to introduce an additional pointer indirection. However, since pipes don't require f_pos_lock we placed a new f_pipe member into a union with f_pos_lock that pipes can use. This is similar to what we already do for struct inode where we have additional fields per file type. This will allow us to fully remove f_version in the next step.
