4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit e048fc50d7bde23136e098e04a324d7e3404408d ]
A driver using dev_alloc_page() must not reuse a page allocated from
emergency memory reserve.
Otherwise all packets using this page will be immediately dropped,
unless for very specific sockets having SOCK_MEMALLOC bit set.
This issue might be hard to debug, because only a fraction of received
packets would be dropped.
