I don't have any objection but let's get opinion of UDP > maintainer. Others have more experience with memory pressure on UDP, for the record. Paolo worked on UDP memory pressure in https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/cover.1579281705.git.pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx/ It does seem odd to me to modify sk_under_memory_pressure only. See for instance its use in __sk_mem_raise_allocated: if (sk_has_memory_pressure(sk)) { u64 alloc; if (!sk_under_memory_pressure(sk)) return 1; This is not even reached as sk_has_memory_pressure is false for UDP. So this commit only affects the only other protocol-independent caller, __sk_mem_reduce_allocated, to possibly call sk_leave_memory_pressure if now under the global limit.
