Subject: Weird piecemeal reads over socketpair() pipe breaks up small writes into even smaller reads.
Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk
X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG

    This is under -current.  I don't know when it started, but I think whatever
    change is causing this was in the last week or two.

    This isn't a 'bug', per say, but it bothers me that a small 128 byte
    write() is being somehow broken apart into two smaller read()s.  It isn't
    efficient, and it shouldn't be happening.
