The skb->pfmemalloc flag gets set to true iff during the slab
allocation of data in __alloc_skb that the the PFMEMALLOC reserves
were used. If page splitting is used, it is possible that pages will
be allocated from the PFMEMALLOC reserve without propagating this
information to the skb. This patch propagates page->pfmemalloc from
pages allocated for fragments to the skb.
It works by reintroducing and expanding the netdev_alloc_page() API
to take an skb. If the page was allocated from pfmemalloc reserves,
it is automatically copied. If the driver allocates the page before
the skb, it should call propagate_pfmemalloc_skb() after the skb is
allocated to ensure the flag is copied properly.
Failure to do so is not critical. The resulting driver may perform
slower if it is used for swap-over-NBD or swap-over-NFS but it should
not result in failure.
