tcp: fix possible freeze in tx path under memory pressure
[ Upstream commit
849b425cd091e1804af964b771761cfbefbafb43 ]
Blamed commit only dealt with applications issuing small writes.
Issue here is that we allow to force memory schedule for the sk_buff
allocation, but we have no guarantee that sendmsg() is able to
copy some payload in it.
In this patch, I make sure the socket can use up to tcp_wmem[0] bytes.
For example, if we consider tcp_wmem[0] = 4096 (default on x86),
and initial skb->truesize being 1280, tcp_sendmsg() is able to
copy up to 2816 bytes under memory pressure.
Before this patch a sendmsg() sending more than 2816 bytes
would either block forever (if persistent memory pressure),
or return -EAGAIN.
For bigger MTU networks, it is advised to increase tcp_wmem[0]
to avoid sending too small packets.
v2: deal with zero copy paths.
