From dff9eb052112ca49c872f48d38a0aec7e6b2f3ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2015 07:33:36 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net: do not deplete pfmemalloc reserve commit 79930f5892e134c6da1254389577fffb8bd72c66 upstream. build_skb() should look at the page pfmemalloc status. If set, this means page allocator allocated this page in the expectation it would help to free other pages. Networking stack can do that only if skb->pfmemalloc is also set. Also, we must refrain using high order pages from the pfmemalloc reserve, so __page_frag_refill() must also use __GFP_NOMEMALLOC for them. Under memory pressure, using order-0 pages is probably the best strategy. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
