This patch all looks good to me.

We might want to mention in the commit message that this is allowed because:

The syscall pipe2 was added in linux 2.6.27 and glibc requires linux 3.2.0.

For reference, these patches set the tree wided minimum required version most
recently.  I dont know what it was before but its fare to say using pipe2 is
safe.

    2016: 5b4ecd3f95 ("Require Linux 3.2 except on x86 / x86_64, 3.2 headers everywhere.").
    2017: 139ace9575 ("Require Linux kernel 3.2 or later on x86 / x86_64.").
