From: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabi...@virtuozzo.com>
We were observing network performance issues due to packets
being dropped by sk_filter_trim_cap() since the 'skb' was allocated
from pfmemalloc reserves:
/*
* If the skb was allocated from pfmemalloc reserves, only
* allow SOCK_MEMALLOC sockets to use it as this socket is
* helping free memory
*/
if (skb_pfmemalloc(skb) && !sock_flag(sk, SOCK_MEMALLOC))
return -ENOMEM;
Memalloc sockets are used for stuff like swap over NBD or NFS
and only memalloc sockets can process memalloc skbs. Since we
don't have any memalloc sockets in our setups we shouldn't have
memalloc skbs either. It simply doesn't make any sense to waste
memory reserves on skb only to drop packets later.
It appears that __dev_alloc_pages() unconditionally uses
__GFP_MEMALLOC, so unless caller added __GFP_NOMEMALLOC, the
__dev_alloc_pages() may dive into memory reserves.
Later build_skb() or __skb_fill_page_desc() sets skb->pfmemalloc = 1
so this skb always dropped by sk_filter_trim_cap().
Instead of wasting memory reserves we should simply avoid using
them in case of absence memalloc sockets in the system. Do this
by adding __GFP_MEMALLOC only when such socket is present in the
system.
